Abstract
|
|
|
Mass treatment of hookworm infection was practised during winter season, (February and December, 1967) in the lie-village, Palbong, Chollapukdo, Korea. The followings are the supplementary results after followup studies since the previous report in 1968.:
1. Total 36 hookworm infected cases out of 291 examined (inhabitants 362) were treated by repeated administration of anthelminthics, and complete egg negative were fulfiled on December, 1967.
2. In August of 1968, 205 people including the former 36 positives were examined for hookworm :infection. Among them, two were positive; one was new case and another one was the reinfected case. A Both of those were treated with appropriate anthelminthics.
3. In March of 1969, stool examination was done with the number of 197 people including all former Cases. One out of three positives was the reinfected case.
It was suggested that the mass-treatment of hookworm infection during cold months might be effective !;to eliminate the parasite from. one community, but full cooperation of the villagers would be needed to ach complete success.
