Abstract
Parasitic infections are common on a worldwide basis and are seen in
high numbers of developing countries especially in Africa where a warm, moist
climate and standards of hygiene are low. However parasitic diseases are now
occurring in developed countries in higher frequency than before due to
immigration and increased foreign travel.
Many health problems result from these infections, including
malnutrition, iron-deficiency anemia and surgical morbidities as intestinal
obstruction, cholecystitis, liver abscess and appendicitis which need surgical
intervention. Appendicitis is a common cause of emergent abdominal surgical
procedures Epidemiologic studies have revealed that approximately 7%-12%
of the population could have appendicitis in their life time.
