摘要
Ascaris infection, when severe, may manifest with constitutional symptoms. The parasites penetrate the intestinal walls, reach the venules and lymphatics and, through the portal circulation, may affect the heart. To the best of our knowledge, involvement of the pericardium has yet to be reported. We describe here a case of severe pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade in a child with ascariasis.
