“…Roundworms secrete polypeptides which cause allergic reactions and spasms of the sphincter of Oddi. A chaotically stimulated sphincter of Oddi opens, and helminths, together with intestinal bacteria, migrate to the bile ducts [ 12 ]. Sometimes helminths ascend the bile ducts and colonize the gallbladder or hepatic parenchyma and induce the formation of liver abscesses [ 6 ].…”

“…Throughout the migration of adult A. lumbricoides into the bile duct, the excretions of these parasites induce irritation, resulting in biliary colic, spasms of the sphincter of Oddi, and partial or complete biliary obstruction. In cases of co-infection, this progression may lead to such complications as cholangitis, cholecystitis, and inflammation of the pancreas [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Biliary ascariasis can manifest as abdominal pain, located in the right upper quadrant and lasting for several days, nausea and/or vomiting, general malaise, jaundice, and hepatomegaly [ 2 , 6 ].…”

“…As a result, the parasite’s golgi apparatus begins to accumulate secretory materials which reduce glucose intake and deplete its glycogen reserves. 24 For patients that do not respond to conservative therapy, endoscopic and open surgical methods are best. 25 …”

“…Os nematódeos secretam polipeptídeos que provocam reações de hipersensibilidade, causando espasmo do esfíncter de Oddi e permitindo assim a migração dos mesmos para o ducto biliar, levando bactérias intestinais. Isso desencadeia estase biliar e subsequente colangite piogênica, colecistite, em alguns casos pancreatite e, se conseguirem chegar até os ductos hepáticos intraparenquimatosos, causam local inflamação com necrose e subsequente abscesso hepático (GARCIA-ESPINOZA et al, 2018).…”
