Can a child with threadworms go to school?

Average rating: 5 out of 5 star rating

Yes. There is no need to keep a child with threadworms off school, nursery, etc. The hygiene measures described above will mean that children will not have any eggs on their fingers when they go out from the home each day and so cannot infect others.
