What is Worm Infestation?

Worm infestation refers to infection of the intestines by parasitic worms such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, or pinworms, which are among the most common infections in children, particularly in regions with limited sanitation infrastructure. These parasites typically enter the body through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or through skin contact with contaminated soil, and reside in the intestines where they can cause a range of symptoms from mild digestive discomfort to significant nutritional deficiencies and growth impairment in heavily infected children. Regular deworming programs have significantly reduced the burden of this condition in many high-risk communities.
