    Ascariasis is a parasitic roundworm infection acquired by ingesting fertilized eggs from contaminated soil or food. The eggs hatch in the small intestine and larvae migrate through the lungs before reaching maturity in the jejunum approximately 65 days later. Adults feed in the intestines and do not multiply, but infection can persist if re-exposure to eggs occurs before the worms' 2-year lifespan ends.

    Ascariasis

    Fertilized eggs released into favorable soil

    Larva develops within the egg in the soil

    Fertilized eggs may become infectious within 5-10 days. Eggs may remain viable in soil for up to 17 months.

    Infection occurs through soil contamination of hands or food, ingestion, and the subsequent hatching of eggs in the small intestine

    Second-stage larvae pass through the intestinal wall and migrate through the portal system to the liver and then the lungs

    A significant exposure may produce subsequent pneumonia and eosinophilia


    Signs/Symptoms: Wheezing Dyspnea nonproductive cough hemoptysis fever

    Larvae are expectorated and swallowed.

    Larvae eventually reaching the jejunum, where they mature into adults in approximately 65 days

    Adult worms feed on digestion products of the host.


    Signs/Symptoms: protein, caloric, or vitamin A deficiency retarded growth increased susceptibility to infectious diseases Large and tangled worms may cause intestinal (usually ileal), common duct, pancreatic, or appendiceal obstruction

    Worms do not multiply in the host. For infection to persist beyond the 2-year maximum lifespan of the worms, re-exposure must occur
