摘要：

Hookworm infection is a relatively common cause of anemia in endemic areas.However,it is rarely encountered in Europe.In this report we describe the case of a 24-year old patient originating from an endemic area who was admitted due to severe anemia,with an Hct of 15.6%and eosinophilia(Eosinophils:22.4%).While both esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were non-diagnostic,capsule endoscopy revealed a large number of hookworms infesting his small bowel and withdrawing blood.The patient was successfully treated with Albendazole.Capsule endoscopy was proven an important tool in diagnosing intestinal parasitosis.
