The most common cause is soil-transmitted helminths (STH). STH infection causes 9000 to 135000 deaths per year in the world. Chronic and asymptomatic morbidity in children is associated with STH infection. The purpose of this paper is to determine the risk factors for the incidence of intestinal worm infection in children. The method used is a literature review by searching for the keywords intestinal worms, STH infections, and children on Google Scholar and Pubmed.
