Abstract

NAIR, Gayatri V et al. Massive hookworm infection as a cause of intestinal bleeding and severe anemia. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.90-92. ISSN 1022-5129.

Overt gastrointestinal bleeding caused by hookworm infection is rarely reported. We present a 34 year old male with lower gastrointestinal bleeding with evidence of massive hookworm infection on colonoscopy and discuss the need to consider hookworm infection as a possible etiology of gastrointestinal bleed in endemic areas.

Keywords : Ancylostoma; Hookworm; Gastrointestinal hemorrhage; Anemia.
