Med Ultrason. 2022 Aug 31;24(3):329-338. doi: 10.11152/mu-3343. Epub 2021 Aug 3.

Abstract

Ascariasis no longer widespread within Europe and so experience in diagnosis and treatment is limited for many specialists. On the other hand, clinicians face increasing numbers of migrants from high prevalence countries and are therefore, challenged to update in this field of infectious diseases. Here we present imaging features and current knowledge of this infection.
