The effect of Ascaris lumbricoides infection on human nutrition was investigated in 12 children 5 to 10 years old in Colombia. A mean reduction in faecal nitrogen excretion of 230 mg. per day was noted after removal of worms. In 7 children harbouring 48 or more worms, the reduction in faecal nitrogen amounted to 7.2% of the dietary nitrogen.
