title: [Hypochromic anemia associated with ascariasis and giardiasis in children].
abstract: The purpose of the study was determination of the frequency of the association of hypochromic anaemia with infections by Ascaris lumbricoides and Giardia intestinalis. Among 5603 studied patients of either sex, aged 3 to 18 years ascaridiasis alone was diagnosed in 226 children (4%), and giardiasis alone in 106 cases (1.9%). The frequency of this anaemia in these groups ranged from 6% to 16%.
