If am vomiting have stomach pains and cough worms what do i have ?!
Question: Ascariasis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. While it is the most common human infection caused by worms in the world, ascariasis is not common in the United States. It occurs in varying prevalence worldwide, with far greater frequency in areas with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions.
Ascariasis occurs when worm eggs commonly found in soil and human feces are ingested. The eggs can be transmitted from contaminated food, drink, or soil. The roundworms range in size from 5.9 to 9.8 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) for adult males and 9.8 to 13.8 inches (25 to 35 centimeters) for adult females. The worms can grow to be as thick as a pencil and can live for 1 to 2 years.
Signs and Symptoms
Although no symptoms may occur, the greater the number of worms involved in the infestation, the more severe a child's symptoms are likely to be. Children are more likely than adults to develop gastrointestinal symptoms because they have smaller intestines and are at greater risk of developing intestinal obstruction. The following symptoms may be seen with mild infestation:
worms in stool
coughing up worms
loss of appetite
fever
wheezing
More severe infestations can result in more serious signs and symptoms, including:
vomiting
shortness of breath
abdominal distention (swelling of the abdomen)
severe stomach or abdominal pain
intestinal blockage
biliary tract blockage (includes the liver and gallbladder)
Description
Ascariasis is frequently found in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor or in areas where human feces are used as fertilizer. When the eggs are swallowed and passed into the intestine, they hatch into larvae. The larvae then begin to move through the body.
Once they get through the intestinal wall, the larvae travel from the liver to the lungs through the bloodstream. During this stage, pulmonary symptoms such as coughing (even coughing up worms) may occur. In the lungs, the larvae climb up through the bronchial tubes to the throat, where they are swallowed. The larvae then return to the small intestine where they grow, mature, mate, and lay eggs. The worms reach maturity about 2 months after an egg is ingested from the soil.
