What Are the Health Impacts of Helminth Infections?
Helminth infections can have significant health impacts, particularly among children. Common symptoms include malnutrition, anemia, impaired cognitive development, and stunted growth. Chronic infections can lead to severe complications such as intestinal blockages, liver disease, and even death in extreme cases. The burden of helminth infections is exacerbated in areas with inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean water.
