The blood haemoglobin concentrations and intestinal helminth infections were surveyed in 658 children aged between 6 and 12 years attending 4 primary schools in Cocle Province, Panama, in November 1987. 147 (22.3%) of the children were judged to have haemoglobin concentrations indicative of iron-deficiency anaemia. Blood haemoglobin concentrations were significantly lower in children with heavier Trichuris trichiura infections (>5000 eggs/g) (P=0.014), and in children with dual infections of both hookworm and T. trichiura (P=0.005). Children with concomitant T. trichiura and hookworm infections were also significantly more likely to have blood haemoglobin levels indicative of anaemia than children who were uninfected or had single infections with either of these helminths (P
