Evaluation of Hematological Factors and Micronutrients Among Children Infected with Enterobius vermicularis

Malnutrition, anemia, and micronutrient deficits may be associated with Enterobius vermicularis infection. Hence, the subject has recently received a lot of attention. The goal this study was to analyse nutritional, hematological status children infected E. vermicularis. This research carried out in Baghdad from October 2021 end March 2022. comprised 100 both sexes, ranging age 3-16 years. All individuals nutritional assessed using weight-for-age Z score height-for-age score. As well as cellophane tape samples blood were collected all individuals. examined under microscope for detection. Whereas processed assess many factors which were: haemoglobin, ferritin, total binding capacity (TIBC), serum iron, zinc magnesium. Results revealed significant correlations between infection occurrence each gender, even though most infections noticed among females those who 3-9 results also showed that status, based on weight score, significantly (P˂0.05) related occurence. Moreover magnesium noted have decreased positive compared negative group. While iron-binding (TIBC) increased children. current investigation had implications several haematological elements, stunting shortages. result, lower prevalence intestinal parasite (particularly enterobiasis) would almost certainly benefit their growth, development educational outcomes.
