  • Title: Ascaris in gallbladder: report of a case and review.
    Author: Bouree P, Barthod F, Chagnon S.
    Journal: J Egypt Soc Parasitol; 2005 Aug; 35(2):491-6. PubMed ID: 16083062.
    Abstract:
    A case of an Ascaris infection of the gallbladder is reported in a 29 years old female. The biological check-up was normal. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography and the patient was cured by albendazole. Such a localization is uncommon (2.1% of the hepatobiliary ascariasis), and the abdominal ultrasonography is the best way to confirm the diagnosis. Albendazole is the current treatment, but cholecystectomy is sometimes a must.
