Overview
Radiographs can be useful investigations in the diagnosis of ascariasis.
Xray
Chest X-ray
A chest x-ray can reveal varying sizes of oval or round infiltrates (Loeffler's syndrome). These infiltrates usually resolve spontaneously.[1]
Abdominal X-ray
Plain abdominal radiographs and contrast studies can reveal worm masses in bowel loops.[1][2]
