Whipworm infection (trichuriasis) is an intestinal infection caused by the roundworm Trichuris trichiura.
Trichuriasis is a very common disorder, occurring mainly in the subtropics and tropics, where poor sanitation and a warm, moist climate provide the conditions needed for Trichuris eggs to incubate in the soil.
Occasionally, the rectum may protrude through the anus (rectal prolapse), especially in heavily infected children.

LONDON, ENGLAND -- Oct. 2, 1998 -- In this week's issue of The Lancet, Dr J. Forrester and colleagues report how they assessed the effect of treatment of symptomless trichuriasis on the growth of children.

The results provide no evidence that trichuriasis predisposes to significant occult gastrointestinal bleeding in children in the absence of the dysenteric syndrome.
Serial stool occult blood testing on the 11 subjects with heavy trichuriasis and 8 uninfected controls yielded a single weakly positive result in the control group.
Stool specimens of 104 primary schoolchildren (mean+/-SD age = 8.2+/-0.3 years) were examined for helminth eggs and for occult blood to investigate the possibility that trichuriasis causes occult intestinal bleeding in the absence of the overt Trichuris dysentery syndrome.
