In a cross-sectional analysis of 354 Ugandan children (age 12–48 months) infected withSchistosoma mansoni, we assessed relationships between infection intensity and nutritional morbidities. Higher intensity was associated with an increased risk for anemia (RR = 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.10) yet not associated with risk for underweight, stunting, or wasting.
