  • Title: Rare presentation of haemobilia and Loeffler's pneumonia in a child by ascaris lumbricoides.
    Author: Cheema HA, Waheed N, Saeed A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2019 Aug 28; 12(8):. PubMed ID: 31466983.
    Abstract:
    Ascariasis is a soil-sourced, second most common parasitic infection worldwide. Because of its wandering nature, it migrates from the intestine to other organs of the body like the lungs and biliary system. This results in complications such as biliary colic, acute cholecystitis, pyogenic cholangitis, liver abscesses, pancreatitis and loeffler's pneumonia. We report a unique case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleed and chest infection. He was diagnosed as haemobilia and loeffler's pneumonia caused by ascaris lumbricoides.
