本文简要回顾了钩虫病的公共卫生意义。最新的证据证实，蠕虫在肠道中的进食活动引起的失血是导致缺铁性贫血的铁状况不良的一个促成因素。世界卫生组织已将少女和育龄妇女确定为受钩虫病影响的高风险群体。治疗的优点后，妊娠早期驱虫药进行了讨论。
The public health significance of hookworm disease is briefly reviewed. The latest evidence confirms that blood loss caused by the worms' feeding activity in the gut is a contributing factor in the development of poor iron status leading to iron-deficiency anaemia. The World Health Organization has identified adolescent girls and women of child-bearing age as high-risk groups regarding the impact of hookworm disease. The merits of treating pregnant women with anthelminthic drugs after the first trimester are discussed.
