Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Under-Five Children with Malnutrition in Sohag, Egypt
Malnourished children are vulnerable to IPIs suffering. In contrast, IPIs can contribute considerably to the evolution of undernutrition in the pediatric population, thus creating a potentially lethal cycle/vicious cycle of worsening illness and deteriorating nutritional status so, I will examine stool specimens of those children suffering from malnutrition.
