Disease/Condition Glossary
Parasitic worm infections: Helminths and intestinal worms are other names for parasitic worms. They attach themselves to and live on the hosts, causing weakness and illness. The most common intestinal worms are roundworms and flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes. Worm infections can result from consuming contaminated water, food, or soil; coming into contact with contaminated faeces; inadequate sanitisation; and poor hygiene. Worm infections cause abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, lethargy, unexplained weight loss, and dysentery (bloody stools).
