“…The lowest hemoglobin concentration was detected among children infected with A. duodenale, G. lamblia and E. histolytica associated with significant reduction in ferritin and serum iron. This agreed with Bayoumy et al (2018) in Egypt who reported the lowest ferritin in children with giardiasis (37.5%) and mixed parasites (18.8%). Gopalakrishnan et al (2018) in India reported high prevalence of anemia among intestinal parasites female school children (Giardia, Hookworm and Ascaris).…”

Under-nutrition is one of the major causes of child mortality and morbidity; manifested by protein-energy malnutrition, iodine deficiency disorder, iron deficiency anemia, and vitamin deficiency related problems. Both problems have a great impact on children physical and mental status Intestinal parasites are major health problems in preschool and school aged children in developing countries and further lead to under-nutrition through reduced food intake, mal-absorption, endogenous nutrient loss and anemia related nutritional problem. This study aims to focus on the vicious cycle between malnutrition and intestinal parasites. In this cross sectional study 138 of school children were examined for intestinal parasites and nutritional deficiency.

“…Similar parasites with partial prevalence were reported from Abb, Yemen, and Cana city, Egypt [33,28]. However, same species of the intestinal parasite with variant prevalence detected in Sudan and other countries [13,16,31]. The presence of certain parasites like E. vermicularis, even though it was found in low rate, is alarming.…”

“…More than 3.2 million deaths of children under the age of 20 years, especially in developing countries, and the infection of people intestinal parasites make the body vulnerable to other diseases associated with such as appendicitis or hepatitis and biochemical changes in the blood parameters of infected patients [15]. In the Algharbia governorate of Egypt, a study was conducted on schoolage children that showed a link between (IH) and anemia [16]. A study was also conducted in Babil province in Iraq on the effect of some intestinal parasites and its effect on some aspects of physiological blood significant increase were noticed in total count and differential counts of WBC [17].…”

Intestinal parasitic infections, are the most common infections worldwide. Various epidemiological studies in Yemen and the neighboring countries, indicate that the prevalence of intestinal parasites is high, especially in developing countries.This study was aims to investigate the prevalence of infection with Intestinal Parasites Worms (IPW), Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis and Hymenolepis nana and its impact on the blood picture among patients attending Ibn Khaldoon hospital in Lahaj governorate - Yemen.A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2019 to October 2020, to assess the prevalence of infection parasites worms (IPW) and associated risk factors. This study included 645 patients from both sexes and different ages. Stool samples were examined microscopically using direct wet-mount, formal-ether concentration techniques and Saturated sodium chloride floatation technique. We analyzed the blood picture of the infected and uninfected people and focused on the three pictures of white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and eosinophil (E). A structured questionnaire, was used to obtain information regarding the associated risk factors. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.The results showed that (94.88%) were positive and 33 cases (5.12%) were negative. And among the (94.88%) positive cases, (59,53%) cases were positive with intestinal helminthes (IH). The infection rate for males (47.65%) cases and for females (42.97%) cases, and the statistical analysis showed a significant difference at the level of significance (P<0.05). Also, some hematological parameters of the blood picture taken from the patients showed significant differences compared to the control group, where the level of (Hb) decreased (10.19 g/dL) and a slight increase in the number of (WBC) 6990 cells/mm3 and a rise in (E) cells 671.74). cell/mm3.In conclusion, the necessity of spreading health education among members of the community and showing the danger of infection with IPW in particular and parasites in general. In relation with blood picture examinations showed a statistically significant difference (P=0.00) in the three age groups. Where the values of WBC 8.49 Mean and (E) 11.174 Mean were more elevated in the first age group, while they decreased in the second and third age groups, while the level of Hb was the most low (8.420 Mean). In the first, second and third age groups.

“…In addition, Al Saadawy et al 66 found that eosinophilia was more recurrent in infected cases (14.3%) than non‐infected cases. In Bayoumy et al 67 study, leucocytosis (mainly eosinophilia) was observed in infected patients relative to non‐infected individuals. This may be due to the role of eosinophils in destroying parasites by attaching to their walls and secreting granules, leading to their destruction.…”

Giardia lamblia is the etiological mediator of giardiasis, one of the most widespread gastrointestinal illnesses all over the world. 1 This parasitic infection seems to be the primary cause of non-viral or bacterial diarrhoea in humans and other vertebrates. 2 Giardiasis causes a wide range of medical symptoms including continuous diarrhoea along with abdominal pain and nausea, or no symptoms at all. Although re-infection and chronic infection are possible, most infections are self-limiting. 3 Giardia usually has a simple life cycle consisting of two separate phases of structural and biochemical developments: trophozoite (vegetative form), which colonizes the host intestine, and cyst (infective form), which is resistant in different environmental conditions. 4 Infection occurs when a host directly ingests feasible cysts or polluted water and food (the infective dose for a symptomatic contagion is about 10-100 cysts). 5 In giardiasis, severe pathophysiology occurs without trophozoites invading the small intestinal tissues. 6 The protozoan's direct and indirect pathogenic actions cause harm to the absorptive mucosa, resulting in enterocyte apoptosis and accelerated cell turnover, shortened villus,
