WHAT DOES ASCARIASIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ascariasis

Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.[1] Infections have no symptoms in more than 85% of cases, especially if the number of worms is small.[1] Symptoms increase with the number of worms present and may include shortness of breath and fever in the beginning of the disease.[1] These may be followed by symptoms of abdominal swelling, abdominal pain and diarrhea.[1] Children are most commonly affected, and in this age group the infection may also cause poor weight gain, malnutrition and learning problems.[1][2][3] Infection occurs by eating food or drink contaminated with Ascaris eggs from feces.[2] The eggs hatch in the intestines, burrow through the gut wall, and migrate to the lungs via the blood.[2] There they break into the alveoli and pass up the trachea, where they are coughed up and swallowed.[2] The larvae then pass through the stomach for a second time into the intestine where they become adult worms.[2] Prevention is by improved sanitation, which includes improving access to toilets and proper disposal of feces.[1][4] Handwashing with soap appears protective.
