Treatment of ascariasis includes single dose of Mebendazole or Albendazole or Pyrantel pamoate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After treatment vast quantities of worms can be passed in the stool, and impressive photos of the results of treatment are noteworthy. [ascarislumbricoides.org]

Prognosis The prognosis for ascariasis is excellent. However, in higher worm burden infections, serious complications such as obstruction are more common. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis Once intestinal infection is detected and treated, the prognosis is excellent. If obstructive or respiratory complications have occurred, the prognosis is less favorable. [unboundmedicine.com]

What is the prognosis of ascariasis? The prognosis of ascariasis for appropriately diagnosed and treated ascariasis is very good. However, the prognosis begins to decline if the patient develops a high number of worms in the body (worm burden). [medicinenet.com]

After discharge and due to lack of follow up and self-care, she became infected again, this time making her prognosis more complex and her clinical presentation more difficult. [academic.oup.com]

Prognosis [ 5 ] Uncomplicated infections respond well to treatment with anthelmintics. Left untreated, some infections will resolve spontaneously and adult worms usually cause little pathology if they remain in the small intestine. [patient.info]

We wanted to emphasize that because helminth infestation is easily overlooked, the diagnosis of ascariasis should be considered in patients who live in endemic areas and treated timely to prevent severe complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
