What is Cost-Effectiveness of Treating Parasites in Immigrants about?

This document analyzes the cost effectiveness of different strategies for treating intestinal parasites in immigrants to the US. It finds that presumptively treating all at-risk immigrants with albendazole would save lives and money by preventing over 300 hospitalizations and over 800 disability adjusted life years compared to just watching for symptoms. Screening all immigrants would save lives but is less cost effective than presumptive treatment.
