title: An action plan to prevent and combat threadworm infection.
abstract: Threadworm infection is common in preschool and school-age children and is easily spread to the entire family. The infection can be treated using medication, which should be taken by all members of the family, but good hygiene measures are equally important to ensure reinfection does not occur.
