Anaemia of varying degrees was noticed in all cases. The lowest Hb% and hematocrit value and highest eosinophilia were found in cases of ancylostomiasis with severe hypochromia compared with the other parasitic infections. Total blood protein was normal in all cases, except in 2 cases of S. mansoni, it was higher. Blood cholesterol and blood urea showed no deviation. | lld:pubmed |
