ALT_DEFINITION

A nematode infection due to Ancylostoma species or Necator americanus. Prevalence and species vary by country. The infection is acquired by larval penetration of the skin, which causes intense pruritus (ground itch), and is followed by a pulmonary migratory phase; adult worms reside in the gastrointestinal tract, where feeding can lead to blood loss, iron deficiency anemia, and sometimes nutritional deficiencies.
