Abstract:
Soil Transmitted Helminthes (STH) is always a problem in developing
and under developed countries. Children are mostly prone to STH in
tropical and non-tropical countries including Pakistan. We have observed ova of Ascaris and some non-descriptive objects in the parasitological examination of the fecal material of infant collected from diaper.
