Endoscopic Diagnosis of <i>Necator americanus</i> Infection Presenting With Persistent Iron-Deficiency Anemia: Usefulness of Image-Enhanced Endoscopy and Capsule Endoscopy. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Necator americanus infection is now rare in developed countries but remains an important cause of iron‐deficiency anemia and abdominal symptoms in individuals with relevant epidemiological backgrounds. A 59‐year‐old Filipino man with long‐standing unexplained iron‐deficiency anemia was admitted to our hospital for epigastric pain associated ...

Capsule Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Hookworm-Induced Acute Intestinal Bleeding-A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In endemic regions, unexplained small‐bowel bleeding should prompt consideration of parasitic etiologies even when routine investigations are unrevealing. Advanced small‐bowel imaging can directly demonstrate active sources of hemorrhage, enabling timely targeted therapy, preventing unnecessary procedures, and reducing morbidity associated ...
