Overview

Ascariasis can mimic other worm infections, and also gastrointestinal pathologies like peptic ulcer disease, intussusception in children, bile duct stone, etc.[1][2]

Differential Diagnosis

  • Differential diagnosis of intestinal ascariasis
  1. Peptic ulcer disease[1]
  2. Intestinal obstruction from Ascaris lumbricoides can mimic intussusception[3]
  • Differential diagnosis of biliary ascariasis
  1. Gallbladder cancer[4]
  2. Retained bile duct stone[2]
  • Other worm infections can sometimes have clinical presentations similar to that of Ascaris lumbricoides

The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate from other nematode infections:

Differentiating ascariasis from other Nematode infections[5][6][7]
Infection Nematode Transmission Direct Person-Person Transmission Duration of Infection Pulmonary Manifestation Location of Adult worm(s) Treatment
Ascariasis Ascaris lumbricoides Ingestion of infective ova No 1-2 years Free air in the lumen of the small bowel

(primarily jejunum)

Strongyloidiasis Strongyloides stercoralis Filariform larvae penetrate skin or bowel mucosa Yes
  • Lifetime of the host
 Embedded in the mucosa of the duodenum, jejunum
Trichuriasis Trichuris trichiura

(whipworm)

Ingestion of infective ova No 1-3 years
  • No pulmonary migration, therefore, no pulmonary manifestation
 Anchored in the superficial mucosa of cecum and colon
Hookworm infection Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale Skin penetration by filariform larvae No Attached to the mucosa of mid-upper portion of the small bowel
Enterobiasis Enterobius vermicularis

(pinworm)

Ingestion of infective ova Yes
  • 1-month
  • Extraintestinal migration is very rare
 Free air in the lumen of cecum, appendix, adjacent colon
