This review covers common intestinal parasitic diseases like amebiasis, ascariasis, and anisakiasis. Early diagnosis through imaging is key for prompt treatment and avoiding surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The gastrointestinal tract is a frequent site for parasitic infections.
  • Intestinal parasitic diseases pose a significant global health challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe common intestinal parasitic diseases: amebiasis, ascariasis, and anisakiasis.
  • To review their epidemiology, life cycles, clinical features, and complications.
  • To illustrate key imaging findings for diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of amebiasis, ascariasis, and anisakiasis.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and life cycles.
  • Correlation of clinical manifestations with imaging findings.
