Popis: Clinical and laboratory data have been compared in patients with ankylostomiasis and healthy population of Guinea Republic. An increase in ankylostomiasis morbidity during the humid season has been observed. The clinical pattern of the disease did not differ from that earlier described in literature. Anemia and eosinophilia were the most persistent signs of the disease. The patients with ankylostomiasis revealed an elevated IgM level and a trend towards an increase in 0-lymphocyte population, which is indicative of certain shifts in cellular and humoral immunity.
