PREVALENCE AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HELMINTH INFECTION AFTER DEWORMING AMONG CHILDREN AGED 2-10 YEARS IN KASHKADARYA REGION, UZBEKISTAN

Description

 Background: Helminth infections remain an important public health problem among children, especially in settings where deworming is not fully supported by hygiene education, household-level prevention, and follow-up laboratory screening. Evidence on infection after deworming among young children in Uzbekistan remains limited.

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of laboratory-confirmed helminth infection and identify factors associated with infection after deworming among children aged 2-10 years in Kashkadarya Region, Uzbekistan.
