Abstract

Summary Hookworm infections were identified in 18 African patients in Uganda who had clincal features of hookworm-disease anemia, and in 30 patients with steatorrhea and the malabsorption syndrome due to chronic exocrine pancreatic disease. Hookworm infection was neither found to be the cause of steatorrhea in patients with hookworm disease, nor a contributory cause of malabsorption in patients with exocrine pancreatic disease and steatorrhoea.
