Daily Question
|
How can a parasitic infection with a hookworm cause claudication?
|
|
Answer
|
|
The hookworm enters the intestine, attaches to the wall and begins sucking the patient's blood. This can lead to an anemia, which when severe can cause angina and claudication in patients with a predisposition to these symptoms.
