Abstract

ntroduction
Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STHs) infection becomes a problem world widely especially in the
area with inadequate hygiene and sanitation. One of the prone population is garbage collectors.
Contamination of a disease (egg worms) on part of body allows the occurrence of oral- fecal
transmission that causes STHs infection. The presence of STHs worm in the intestine suck the
host’s blood thus it causes the decreasing of hemoglobin (Hb) level which may cause severe
anemia and death.
Methods
This research was an analytical observational through laboratory approach. Sample in this
research was 35 respondents taken by simple random method. Laboratory analysis is used to
determine the presence of STHs worm eggs and Hb levels. Spearman’s rank correlation test with
α= 0.05 was used to know if there was a correlation between the existence of STHs worm eggs in
fingernails sample and hemoglobin levels.
Results
The presence of STHs worm eggs in nails sample categorized has strong correlation with Hb
levels on garbage collector community (p value= 0.000; α= 0.05; r= -0.930). It was discovered
that nine respondents with egg STHs worms in their fingernails sample had Hb level less than 13
g/dl.
Conclusions
Personal hygiene including maintenance of nail hygiene is one way to prevent the transmission
of fecal- oral STHs worm infections.
