Ascariasis, a helminthic infection of humans, is the most common parasitic infestation of the gastrointestinal tract. It infects about 25% of the world's population; around 20 thousand deaths occur per year from an adverse clinical course of the disease. This review is focused on biliary ascariasis, examining in some detail the pathogenesis of the disease with special reference to postcholecystectomy ascariasis and related issues. Although an endemic disease of tropical and subtropical countries, increasing population migration facilitated by fast improving communication facilities demands that clinicians everywhere be familiar with the clinical profile and management of biliary ascariasis.
蛔虫病是一种人体蠕虫感染，是胃肠道最常见的寄生虫感染。它感染了全球约25%的人口；每年约有2万人因该病的不良临床病程而死亡。本综述聚焦于胆源性蛔虫病，特别参照胆囊切除术后蛔虫病及相关问题，详细探讨该病的发病机制。尽管蛔虫病是热带和亚热带国家的地方病，但随着通信设施的迅速改善，人口迁移增加，这就要求各地临床医生熟悉胆源性蛔虫病的临床特征和治疗方法。
