Abstract
Summary Fourteen patients with hookworm disease were studied for evidence of malabsorption. In these patients steatorrhea and positive biochemical tests were found, as well as pathologic and roentgenographic abnormalities of the small bowel. Similar evidence of malabsorption was absent in 6 asymptomatic patients with similar parasitic infestation and in 8 persons infested with parasites other than hookworm.
