Introduction: Worm infections will affect the intake, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food.Worm infection can cause nutritional deficiencies in the form of calories, protein, and vitamins and
blood loss which results in a decrease in endurance and cause disruption to child development.
Objective: This study aims to describe the incidence of helminthiasis (soil transmitted helminth),
intake of vitamin B12 and vitamin C in primary school-aged children in Makassar City. Materials and

using a 2 × 24 hour food recall method, worm examination performed with the Kato Katz technique.
Descriptive analysis was carried out using the SPSS application. Results: A total of 15.9% of children
had helminthiasis. Children who were positive for helminthiasis were more prevalent in male sexes,
namely (22.9%) aged 10 years as much (17.6%) and living in coastal areas as much (23.3%). Vitamin
B12 intake showed more children who had more helminthiasis with adequate vitamin B12 intake which
was as much as (85.7%). Whereas the status of helminthiasis based on vitamin C intake shows that
