    Author: Lee KH, Shelat VG, Low HC, Ho KY, Diddapur RK.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2009 Jun; 50(6):e218-9. PubMed ID: 19551301.
    Abstract:
    Ascaris lumbricoides infestations are endemic in tropical countries. Ascaris lumbricoides can occasionally cause biliary obstruction and result in obstructive jaundice or pancreatitis. We present a 34-year-old Bangladeshi woman with biliary ascariasis, resulting in recurrent pancreatitis. Her diagnosis was made with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography performed during an acute attack of pain.
