Ascaridiasis is a geohelminthiasis with a worldwide distribution, especially occurring in countries with hot-humid climates. The infection occurs most frequently in children between three and nine years of age. We report a case of ascaridiasis regarding a ten-year-old girl born in Bangladesh who arrived in Italy about one year before. During laparotomy for suspected acute appendicitis, a large number of ascaridia nematodes were seen in the small intestine.
