Abstract
We investigated the risk of severe inflammatory diarrhoea associated with geohelminth parasites in 1746 children attending a rural hospital in Ecuador from December 2000 to July 2002. Infections with geohelminths were strongly protective against the risk of severe inflammatory diarrhoea. Our findings suggest that geohelminth infections have important protective effects against enteroinvasive infections in young children.Entities:
