In the poorest countries, children are likely to be infected from the time they stop breast-feeding, and to be continually infected and re-infected for the rest of their lives. Only rarely does infection have acute consequences for children. Instead, the infection is long-term and chronic, and can negatively affect all aspects of a child's development: health, nutrition, cognitive development, learning and educational access and achievement. All the common worm infections in school-age children can be treated effectively with two single dose pills: one for all the common intestinal worms (hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms) and the other for schistosomiasis (bilharzia). The treatment is safe, even when given to uninfected children. 2012-08-13T09:22:28Z 2012-08-13T09:22:28Z 2003-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/09/11982266/school-deworming http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9722 English at a glance CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
