Ancylostomiasis is infection with the hookworm Ancylostoma duodenale or Necator americanus. Symptoms include rash at the site of larval entry and sometimes abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal symptoms during early infection. Later, iron deficiency may develop because of chronic blood loss. Hookworms are a major cause of iron deficiency anemia in endemic regions. Diagnosis is by finding eggs in stool. Treatment is with albendazole or mebendazole .
(See also Approach to Parasitic Infections.)
The estimated worldwide prevalence of hookworm infection is 576 to 740 million, mostly in developing areas. Both A. duodenale and N. americanus occur in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Only A. duodenale occurs in the Middle East, North Africa, and southern Europe. N. americanus predominates in the Americas and Australia; it was once widely distributed in the southern United States and is still endemic on islands of the Caribbean and in Central and South America. Some strains of A. ceylanicum, a hookworm of dogs, cats and hamsters, also mature to adulthood in the human intestine. Infections with A. ceylanicum have been reported in residents of parts of Asia and some South Pacific islands.
