Role of homoeopathic treatment in worm infestations

Abstract

Worm infection is a very prominent infection affecting children in almost ¼ the world’s population. Mainly affecting agents are soil-transmitted Helminth Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenal and Necator americanus), Trichuris trichiura, and Strongyloides stercoralis. All over the world the treatment and deworming procedure has been accepted to concur this but this is not as effective as it has been expected. Still, these procedures have been reduced the severe complication of this infection. Soil-transmitted infection is mainly due to unhealthy environments, unhygienic conditions like no hand wash before the meal, people living around the marshy area, field workers, children playing in the soil, and other things would be like less education regarding soil-transmitted diseases, hygiene, and sanitation. Most of the middle-income country or poor country has no access to proper food, and sanitation so these countries are more prone to such infected condition. Previously WHO estimated that 875 million children needed regular STH treatment belonging to poor and middle-income countries.
