Abstract:

The study “Correlation of hookworm infection and Mean corpuscular haemoglonbin concentration”was carried out in rural population of Lulliani (Mustafaabad), located in District Kasur. The sampling method wasstratified random sampling. Sample size was calculated which was 1010 and the subjects were selected from the abovelocality. Among the sampled population 253 were found hookworm positive. Stool and blood samples of hookwormpositive cases were taken who were 253 in number, and calculation of MCHC level and hookworm infection burden interms of No. of ova per gm of faeces was made. Haemoglobin level was estimated by cyanmethaemoglobin methodand packed cell volume by microhaematocrit method. Quantitative estimation of hookworm ova in stool was carried outby stoll’s modified egg counting technique. Results of the study showed a significant relationship between M.C.H.C.level and No of hookworm ova per gram of faeces (r= --0.908), a strong negative correlation.
