An uninvited guest, Ascaris in the bile duct causing cholangitis successfully treated with surgery
JOURNAL OF SURGICAL CASE REPORTS(2024)
摘要
Parasitic infections continue to be a burden for developing countries-the lack of hygiene measures and clean water results in dangerous scenarios that can lead to challenging problems. Most Ascaris lumbricoides infections are usually mild; nonetheless, in rare cases in endemic regions, they can migrate to the bile duct and cause severe complications requiring surgery. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman who had severe cholangitis due to A. lumbricoides. The worm migrated from the bowel and obstructed the bile duct; after surgery, the patient fully recovered.
