Abstract
Preview Roundworm infection with Ascaris lumbricoides is a worldwide health problem occurring in 25% of the world's population. Thus, physicians in the United States should watch for it among immigrants and others who may have been in less developed areas. Awareness of its benign presentation and potential complications can help prevent significant morbidity. Drs Bratton and Nesse explain how to recognize and eradicate this parasitic infection.Keywords
