“…El diagnóstico se realiza por la combinación de exámenes de sangre, de deposiciones y eventualmente, por los hallazgos radiológicos 9 . Así mismo, las complicaciones suelen ser debidas a la gran cantidad de parásitos adultos en el tubo digestivo, producto de la ingesta de una gran cantidad de huevos larvados; dando lugar a cuadros de obstrucción intestinal, complicación descrita, en conjunto con la obstrucción de la vía biliar, como la más común 10,11 .…”

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up. Kato-Katz thick smears are the standard detection method for Ascaris and, despite low sensitivity, are often used for mapping and monitoring and evaluation of national control programmes. Although increased sampling (number of stools) and diagnostic (number of examinations per stool) efforts can improve sensitivity, Kato-Katz is less sensitive than other microscopy methods such as FLOTAC®. Antibody-based diagnostics may be a sensitive diagnostic tool; however, their usefulness is limited to assessing transmission in areas aiming for elimination. Molecular diagnostics are highly sensitive and specific, but high costs limit their use to individual diagnosis, drug - efficacy studies and identification of Ascaris suum. Increased investments in research on Ascaris and other STHs are urgently required for the development of diagnostic assays to support efforts to reduce human suffering caused by these infections.
