Uncle dermatitis

Hook dermatitis is a disease caused by hookworm parasitizing the human small intestine. The main manifestations are iron deficiency anemia, intestinal dysfunction, and malnutrition. In severe cases, heart dysfunction and developmental disorders can be caused. Mild patients can be asymptomatic, and only uncle eggs can be found in the feces, which is said to be infected by uncle.
