Ascaris lumbricoides in neonate: evidence of congenital transmission of intestinal nematodes

Ascaris lumbricoides in neonate: evidence of congenital transmission of intestinal nematodes

Clinical and epidemiological study of a forty-days-old infant with a diarrheic condition and insufficient development led to the coprological diagnosis of ascariasis and possible congenital infection. Specific treatment with levamizole, resulted in clinical and parasitological cure, in addition to gain of weight up to normal levels. Maternal parasitism had been diagnosed two months before labor and proved beyond doubt during the ensuing epidemiological inquiry.
