Abstract
Hookworm is one of the soil-transmitted nematodes causing anaemia and low birth weight in pregnant women. This study aimed to assess albendazole efficacy and re-infection rate among pregnant women. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to September 2021 in Debre Elias District. Albendazole (400mg) was administered to assess efficacy and hookworm re-infection rate. Though the cure rate of single-dose albendazole was 81.7%, with an overall egg reduction rate of 92.5%, the re-infection rate of hookworm 18–24 weeks post-treatment was substantial at 21.4%. More effective intervention measures are thus needed.
