Malaria, schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminth burden and their correlation with anemia in children attending primary schools in kinshasa, democratic republic of congo

Background: Anaemia reduces cognitive potential in school children, retards their growth and predisposes them to other diseases. As there is a paucity of data on the current burden of P. falciparum , S. mansoni and soil transmitted helminths (STH) infections and their correlation with schoolchildren's anemia in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), we collect these data.
