Abstract
Biliary ascariasis is a less frequent, but important complication of ascaris infestation, because it may cause biliary colic, pyogenic cholangitis, and septicemia. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent these complications. We present here a five-year-old girl with biliary ascariasis, whose main complaint was abdominal pain. After giving piperazin salt, multiple ascaris worms were seen in the stool within 10 days. She is at the follow-up without any complication.Entities:
