A 24yo male discovers a roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides) in his stool. He returned from a camping trip through rural South America 4 months ago. He is asymptomatic. If he is not treated for this infection and does no further traveling, what can be expected to happen as a result of this infection?
Homework Answers
Ascaris lumbricoides are intestinal worms. Their adult forms reside in the lumen of small intestine of their human hosts. Being parasitic, they draw nutrition from semi-digested food. These parasites are more prevalent in warmer climates than colder climates.
It is believed that about 85% of the affected patients do not show symptoms for the presence of roundworms in their body. In a young male, who is asymptomatic for this parasite, the worms would be retained for a long period and the patient would show retarded growth and will be malnourished.
