A member asked:
If a person had worms would abnormalities show up in regular blood work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly no.: If by worms you mean, intestinal worms, these usually do not cause blood work problems; some worms may cause increase in eosinophil type of blood cells, and others may be associated with increased ige levels. Other changes depend on the type of worm, and worm-load and may result in anemia, blood in stools, malabsorption etc.
