Weatherhead Ascariasis (roundworm) is the most common parasitic helminth infection globally and can lead to significant morbidity in children including chronic lung disease. Children become infected withAscaris spp. via oral ingestion of eggs. It has long been assumed thatAscaris egg hatching and larval translocation across the gastrointestinal mucosa to initiate infection occurs in the small intestine. Here, we show thatA.suum larvae hatched in t...

Impact of < em > Ascaris lumbricoides < /em > infection on the development of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with COPD
Trop Doct. 2024 Jan 30:494755241226488. doi: 10.1177/00494755241226488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aetiopathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. The aim of our study was to determine the possible influence of Ascaris lumbricoides on the development of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) in patients with COPD. The prevalence of A. lumbricoides in patients with COPD with CPA (19.05%) was significantly higher than that in those without (9.20%) and controls (4.9%) (p < 0.05). Trends in levels of Interleukin-1β and of tumour necrosis factor α suggest ascariasis increases suscep...

Coincidence of Ascariasis with Appendicitis in a Pediatric Patient with abdominal Pain; a Case Report
This report emphasizes the consideration of ascariasis in diagnosing appendicitis, particularly in areas where intestinal parasites are common. It also demonstrated the improved diagnostic accuracy achieved through clinical scoring and imaging, thus reducing the risk of missing dual pathologies in young patients with acute abdominal pain.PMID:38162385 | PMC:PMC10757573 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2187 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)
