obstruction)
-Adult worms can migrate into biliary tract, lungs, or oral expulsion
Ascariasis treatment
1. Albendazole
2. Mebendazole
3. Pyrantel pamoate
4. Corticosteroids for pulmonary infections
What is the largest nematode?
Ascaris lumbricoides
Size of adult female ascaris lumbricoides
20-35 cm
Size of adult male Ascaris lumbricoides
15-30 cm
Color of ascaris lumbricoides
White-pink
Ascaris lumbricoides geographic distribution
-Worldwide distribution
-In United States, most common in rural Southeast and Blue Ridge Mountains
Ascaris lumbricoides eggs
Fertilized:
-Round
-Thick, coarse shell
Unfertilized:
-Oval
-Thin, smoother shell
Enterobius vermicularis disease
Pinworm (Enterobiasis)
Pinworm clinical features
Itching and inflammation of anus (from deposition of eggs)
Pinworm treatment
-Self-limiting (can resolve on own without treatment)
-Treat entire family
1. Mebendazole
2. Pyrantel pamoate
Enterobius vermicularis geographic distribution
Common in United States (school-aged children)
Enterobius vermicularis life cycle
1. Infective eggs are ingested (human feces) and migrate to small intestine
2. Eggs hatch and release larvae
3. Larvae develop into adult worms in colon
4. Gravid females migrate to perianal region to lay eggs in perianal folds
5. Eggs become infective after 6 hr incubation period
6. Eggs spread from perianal area by scratching
, -Remain infective for several weeks
-Eggs are very sticky (attach to almost any surface)
How long is the incubation period for Enterobius vermicularis eggs after being
deposited in the perianal folds?
6 hr
Enterobius vermicularis diagnosis
-Scotch tape prep (eggs)
-Pinworm paddle (eggs)
-Collect sample in early morning before getting out of bed (gravid worms lay eggs in
perianal folds at night)
Enterobius vermicularis eggs
-Oval with one flat side
-Thick, double-walled shell
Strongyloides stercoralis disease
Threadworm

-Shock
-Pulmonary and neurologic complications
-Septicemia
-May be fatal
Threadworm treatment
-Patients at risk of disseminated disease should be treated

Strongyloides stercoralis transmission
Skin penetration with contaminated soil with rhabditiform or filariform larvae
Strongyloides stercoralis life cycle
-Complex
-Alternate between free-living and parasitic cycles
