A case report of 4-year-old child with biliary ascariasis successfully treated with single dose of albendazole
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Most cases of biliary ascariasis require endoscopic management or surgical intervention. When the procedure is difficult to perform due to many reasons and the case is without complication, conservative treatment can be an option. We report a case of biliary ascariasis in 4-year-old girl who complained of abdominal pain and subfebrile fever. The diagnosis was made using ultrasonography. The patient was successfully treated with a single dose of 400 mg albendazole. We found one dead adult female Ascaris lumbricoides from the feces after treatment. Repeated ultrasonography was made to evaluate the treatment.
