Abstract:

Ascaris lumbricoides is nematode localized in human small bowel in most cases. This nematode is capable for migration. Pancreatitis is one of the most common surgical diseases. One of the causes of this pancreatitis may be migration of Ascaris lumbricoides from small bowel through the major duodenal papilla to the pancreatic ducts. This migration is provided by complex of morphological and functional disorders of digestive system associated with this helminthiasis, as well as certain risk factors. These are previous cholecystectomy, sphincterotomy, living in endemic areas, massive Ascaris lumbricoides invasion, pregnancy. Damage of the pancreas develops due to direct mechanical effect of nematodes and allergic reactions, papillitis and functional disorders of digestive tract. Pancreatitis is usually mild, but severe course of disease is also possible. A typical symptom of pancreatitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides is helminths in vomit and/or feces.
