ASCARIASIS.

California Medicine
J H WoodruffG G Myers

Abstract

Ascaris infestations may be found in California, particularly in patients who have migrated from endemic regions. Clinical manifestations include vague abdominal pains, unexplained fever, anemia, malaise and upper respiratory tract infections. Intestinal obstruction and infections are among the severe complications that can occur. Diagnosis is made by the observation of worms or ova in the feces, and occasionally by roentgenographic manifestations.
