Ascariasis with intestinal complications - what does this mean
Ascariasis with intestinal complications occurs when a person ingests ascaris lumbricoides eggs, which then hatch in the small intestine and develop into adult worms. the adult worms can cause blockages in the intestine, leading to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. in severe cases, they can cause intestinal perforation, which can lead to life-threatening complications.
What happens during the disease - ascariasis with intestinal complications
Ascariasis is caused by an infection of the small intestine with the roundworm, ascaris lumbricoides. the worms enter the body through contaminated food or water, and migrate to the small intestine, where they attach to the intestinal wall and feed on the host's nutrients. if left untreated, the worms can cause intestinal blockage, inflammation, and ulceration due to the worms' physical presence in the intestine. they can also cause malabsorption of nutrients, leading to malnutrition and severe abdominal pain. in some cases, the worms can migrate to other organs, such as the liver and lungs, and cause further complications.
