A retrospective study of 85 children aged 3–12 years revealed 25 cases who needed surgical intervention due to ascariasis. The surgical conditions found at laparotomy were intestinal obstruction (18) appendicitis (3), ileal perforation (2), biliary ascariasis (2). The study highlights the high incidence of surgical ascariasis among children with abdominal complaints in an endemic area.

Ascaris infestation that too causing biliary obstruction is very rare in infancy even in endemic area. Adult Ascaris diameter (3-6 mm) is more than the average diameter of CBD in paediatric population, which is 1.27 +/- 0.67 mm. We are reporting a baby of seven months who presented with conjugated hypebilirubinemia and pancreatitis due to Round Worm in CBD.

Ascending Cholangitis

Biliary ascariasis is a rare disease in a non-endemic area. However, it is one of the possible etiological factors for retarded growth as well as malnutrition in children. It may cause intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, biliary obstruction, liver abscess, hepatolithiasis, and pancreatitis in adults. Herein, we report a patient with ascending cholangitis secondary to biliary ascariasis who was successfully managed with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreaticography.

The first cases of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Estonia were identified in 1949. Today, Estonia is a TBE-endemic country. A TBE-endemic area in Estonia is defined as an area with circulation between ticks and vertebrate hosts as determined by detection of TBEV or the demonstration of autochthonous infections in humans or animals within the last 20 years.
