| Abstract | To determine the role of moderate- and low-intensity infections with Schistosoma mansoni and intestinal
helminths (hookworm, Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides) on the prevalence of anemia and their relationship to
iron consumption, a cross-section of 1,709 children in rural Brazil was studied. All participants were selected for infection
with one or multiple helminthic parasites, and demographic, anthropometric, and dietary intake were surveyed. The
prevalence and intensity were as follows: hookworm infection, 15.7% and 8.6 eggs/g; T. trichiura, 74.8% and 190.5 eggs/g;
A. lumbricoides, 63% and 1,905.5 eggs/g; S. mansoni, 44.5% and 60.3 eggs/g. There was no increase in odds ratio for
anemia with any combination of intestinal helminths without S. mansoni infection. By logistic regression, the odds ratio
for having anemia when infected with S. mansoni and two intestinal helminths was 1.7 (95% CI, 1.1–2.5) and for S.
mansoni and three intestinal helminths was 2.4 (95% CI, 1.2–4.6) compared with children with a single parasite species.
Children with an adequate intake of iron had no increased odds of anemia independent of the combination of parasite
infections. | pt_BR |
