Abstract

Hookworm infestation is usually acquired by transcutaneous penetration of larvae whilst walking barefoot on contaminated soil. We present a small infant who presented with melaena and severe anaemia requiring multiple blood transfusions where the cause of gastro-intestinal bleeding was found to be massive hookworm infestation.
