Children with a soil-transmitted helminth infection (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 194) were randomly assigned to triple-dose albendazole or placebo and their infection status monitored over a 6-month period using the Kato-Katz and Baermann techniques. Baseline prevalence of <jats:italic>Trichuris trichiura<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ascaris lumbricoides<\/jats:italic>, hookworm, and <jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic> were 94.5%, 93.3%, 61.3%, and 3.1%, respectively, with more than half of the participants harboring triple-species infections. For the intervention group (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 99), the 1-month post-treatment cure rates were 96.7%, 91.5%, and 19.6% for hookworm, <jats:italic>A. lumbricoides<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>T. trichiura<\/jats:italic>, respectively. Egg reduction rates were above 88% for all three species. Rapid re-infection with <jats:italic>A. lumbricoides<\/jats:italic> was observed: the prevalence 4 and 6 months post-treatment was 75.8% and 83.8%, respectively.
