Ascaris peritonitis and peritoneal granuloma in China

Abstract: This article is a survey of the Chinese literature of perforation of gastrointestinal tract by ascaris. We wish to draw attention to the acute abdominal disease of ascaris infection, and acute ascaris peritonitis as a result of perforation, most cases being found in children. The disease has very high morbidity (24/112; 21.4%) and high mortality (17/112; 15.2%). Early detection and operation are of critical importance. Perforation of gastrointestinal tract by ascaris may develop into peritoneal granuloma, whic… Show more

“…[34] Ascaris may penetrate through the intestinal perforation into the peritoneal cavity and cause acute peritonitis. [21,22,23,35] When larvae migrate through the lungs, they may cause eosinophilic pneumonitis (Löffler's syndrome). [16,17,36] Ascaris worms in the airway passage can cause sudden obstruction and dyspnea, [8][9][10][11][12][13]37] or cough with Ascaris worm from the nose or mouth.…”
