“…The program in northern Western Australia succeeded because of commitment by government, community involvement entailing community debate and ownership of the program, 2 education, and behavioural change, and improvement in public sanitation facilities as well as chemotherapy 3 . We believe that a critical determinant of the outcome of our program was the inclusion of the community in designing the program.…”

A 54-year-old male was admitted because of having suffered from progressive watery diarrhea for 12 days. He had no history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, organ transplantation, or malignancy. After admission, he still complained of diarrhea despite medical treatment. The laboratory examination showed leukocytosis with eosinophilia and a stool examination by the concentration method was negative four times. When a sigmoidoscopy was performed as a part of an explorative survey, a single protruding mass consisting if a moving adult hookworm was found. The fifth stool examination by the concentration method identified hookworm ova. The patient was treated with oral mebendazole 100 mg twice a day for 3 days. The diarrhea and eosinophilia subsided after this treatment.
