Doença causada por uma infecção pelo verme parasita Ancylostoma. Esta doença é caracterizada por prurido no local de penetração da larva. Em infecções leves, esta doença pode ser assintomática; em infecções moderadas a graves, pode se manifestar com tosse, irritação faríngea durante a migração das larvas pelas vias aéreas, anemia por deficiência de ferro, dor abdominal, náusea, diarreia com sangue, fadiga ou atraso de desenvolvimento (mental ou físico). A transmissão ocorre por contato direto com larvas do solo ou areia contaminados com fezes de cachorro ou gato (por migração percutânea de larvas), ingestão de larvas ou transmissão vertical. A confirmação é feita pela identificação de Ancylostoma em uma amostra fecal. | |||

A disease caused by an infection with the parasitic worm Ancylostoma. This disease is characterised by pruritus at the site of larval penetration. In mild infections, this disease may be asymptomatic; in moderate to severe infections, this disease may present with cough, pharyngeal irritation during larval migration in airways, iron-deficiency anaemia, abdominal pain, nausea, bloody diarrhoea, fatigue, or delayed development (mental or physical). Transmission is by direct contact with larvae from soil or sand contaminated with dog or cat faeces (by percutaneous migration of larvae), ingestion of larvae, or vertical transmission.
