Abstract

Soil transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain prevalent in India despite the ongoing deworming program. Here, we report a case of triple infection of Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancylostoma duodenale, and Strongyloides stercoralis, in a young asymptomatic and apparently immunocompetent female presenting with aluminium phosphide poisoning. Except for severe anaemia, the only other indicators of chronic infection were occasional abdominal pain and self-limiting loose stools. She was successfully treated for her conditions. This case highlights that despite regular deworming programs in children, STH may continue to infect adults in endemic areas and may be relevant to their well-being.

在一起磷化铝中毒案件中，三层土壤传播了蠕虫。

尽管正在进行除虫计划，土壤传播的蠕虫（STH）感染在印度仍然普遍存在。在这里，我们报告一个病例三重感染蛔虫类，十二指肠钩虫，和粪圆形线虫，在一个年轻的无症状和明显免疫能力的女性表现为磷化铝中毒。除严重贫血外，慢性感染的唯一其他指标是偶尔的腹痛和自限性稀便。她的病情得到了成功的治疗。这个案例强调，尽管定期为儿童驱虫，但STH可能会继续感染流行地区的成年人，并可能与他们的福祉有关。
