Clinical presentation: The patients may often present with a history of passing worms by mouth or anus. A number of patients, presents with a subacute clinical course. [histopathology-india.net]

Ascariasis is due to infection with the Ascaris lumbricoides adult worm and typically presents with gastrointestinal or pulmonary symptoms, depending on the stage of development. [radiopaedia.org]

    Signs and symptoms of the disease For the most part, ascariasis is largely asymptomatic. However, in more severe cases, symptoms include exiting of worms from orifices, cough, shortness of breath, a low grade fever, and stomach pain (2). [austincc.edu]

    Clinical findings Often asymptomatic. Clinical findings, larval migration to lungs Wheezing, cough, chest pain, dyspnoea, pneumonitis at time of transpulmonary migration. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    Clinical Manifestations: Most infections are asymptomatic, although nonspecific gastrointestinal tract symptoms may occur in some patients. Pulmonary involvement. [meddean.luc.edu]

  • Weakness

    If there are tens or hundreds of worms, symptoms might include: diarrhea fever nausea stomach ache slower growing of a child or a teen vomiting weakness. Unlike many other human roundworms, Ascaris lumbricoides does not usually feed on blood. [parasitesinhumans.org]

    The most common nutritional deficiencies related to ascariasis are protein, vitamin A and vitamin C. [6] A lack of protein causes muscle wasting and weakness, as well as a distended belly. [wikihow.com]

    While ascariasis and trichuriasis are associated with a relatively small number of deaths, they can result in intestinal symptoms, weakness, and malnutrition which, over time, can impact childhood development and adult productivity. [globalhealthprimer.emory.edu]

    Demonstration of larvae: The larvae may be detected in the sputum during the stage of migration to lungs. Blood tests: Antibodies against Ascaris lumbricoides can be detected through blood tests. [medindia.net]

    Diagnosis is by identifying eggs or adult worms in stool, adult worms that migrate from the nose or mouth, or larvae in sputum during the pulmonary migration phase. Treatment is with albendazole, mebendazole, or ivermectin. [msdmanuals.com]

Tests to diagnose this condition include: Abdominal x-ray Complete blood count Stool ova and parasites exam Treatment Treatment includes medications that paralyze or kill intestinal parasitic worms, such as albendazole or mebendazole. [dxline.info]

If eggs are present, treatment should be given again. Outlook (Prognosis) Most people recover from symptoms of the infection, even without treatment. But they may continue to carry the worms in their body. [benefis.adam.com]

Ascariasis - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Definition Ascariasis is an intestinal infection of the small intestine caused by the parasitic Ascaris lumbricoides, a large roundworm. [streetdirectory.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]

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]

Etiology: Ascaris lumbricoidesis the largest and, globally, the most widespread of all human intestinal roundworms (Nematode). Life cycle: Human is the definitive host. [meddean.luc.edu]

Etiology Children commonly acquire this infection from playing in dirt contaminated with Ascaris eggs. [unboundmedicine.com]

Figure 4 Impact of hepatobiliary and pancreatic ascariasis as an etiologic factor in biliary disease, hepatic abscesses, biliary lithiasis and acute pancreatitis. [wjgnet.com]

Epidemiology Infection occurs after ingesting eggs in contaminated food or, more commonly, is carried to mouth by the hands after contact with contaminated soil. After an early pulmonary phase (larval migration), worms stay in the intestine. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

The pathophysiology is unclear and may include competition for nutrients, impairment of absorption, and depression of appetite. [merckmanuals.com]

Pathophysiology Fertilized eggs are ingested from soil contaminated with human feces. Larvae hatch in the small intestine and migrate to cecum and colon. [unboundmedicine.com]

Pathophysiologic mechanisms include Direct tissue damage The immunologic response of the host to infection with larvae, eggs or adult worms [2] Obstruction of an orifice or the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract by an aggregation of worms Nutritional [web.stanford.edu]

So for preventing the ascariasis infection, it is necessary to dispose of the fecal matter properly. [healthresource4u.com]

Treating in this way is called preventive treatment (or “preventive chemotherapy”). [cdc.gov]

Control and Prevention. Control and prevention of ascariasis begins by following the usual guidelines: improving sanitation in resource poor areas and maintaining vigilance in personal hygiene. [infectionlandscapes.org]

Prevention, particularly current research about a vaccine or other means of control/prevention o Prevention involves simple sanitary efforts such as general hygiene. [austincc.edu]

Prevention of of Ascariasis: i. Good sanitation and a safe water supply prevent the infection of the parasite. ii. Green vegetables are to be cleaned properly before ingestion as food. iii. [biologydiscussion.com]
