When taken together, there is evidence of benefit for deworming HIV-1 co-infected adults.

Both studies concluded that deworming did reduce infections and generated small improvements in nutritional status.

These results support the implementation of deworming programs aimed at young children in highly endemic areas.

Thirty-eight percent considered late autumn (Oct-Dec) to be the most important time for deworming.

Evidence-based deworming strategies targeting pregnant women or populations where anemia is of concern should be updated accordingly.

One project gathered evidence on how an often overlooked measure such as deworming children could help their education.

The benefits of school-based periodic deworming programs are likely to be enhanced when a sustained health hygiene education intervention is integrated into school curricula.

Relative to no treatment, thrice-yearly deworming caused significant decreases in protoporphyrin concentrations and both deworming regimens caused marginally significant increases in serum ferritin concentrations.

The relatively high cost of FEC analyses compared to purchase of anthelmintics was thought to contribute to the preference of deworming without a previous FEC.

When data from these trials were pooled, the analysis demonstrated significant benefit of deworming on both plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4 counts.
