Not the two common varieties of hookworm in the USA, it seems...

Humans are not at risk of the larvae reaching our intestinal tract, but there is a skin reaction. See http://www.dr-dan.com/hookworm.htm

But in developing countries, two species infect both humans and animals, according to http://www.healthcentral.com/ency/408/000629.html

Puppy wormed one week ago is it normal for small white worms to be present but no fecal matter?

You never mentioned what kind of worms your dog was treated. For hook and round worms an over the counter treatment may be enough. If you go to the vet they will give your dog Strongid-T, which will take care of the hook and round worms. If you are seeing white worms coming out of your dogs rectum or you see white worms in the fecal matter, your dogs has Tape worms. There is no over the counter treatment that will get rid of Tape worms. You must go to the vet who will give you a little pill to give to your dog. If your dog has tape worms you may also find tiny and I mean tiny little off white, sesame seed looking things in your dogs bedding. These are Tape worms that have crawled out of your dogs rectum and dried up and died. Sometimes this is the only evidence that a dog owner will see and wonder what the heck they are. Now you know.
