Ascaris lumbricoides is a worldwide intestinal infestation that may cause various complications. Biliary ascariasis, however, is a rare condition. We describe a child with biliary ascariasis. The patient's clinical symptoms were pain, vomiting and abdominal tenderness, and she was thought to have acute appendicitis. However, laboratory examination revealed high serum alkaline phosphatase and amylase levels, and ultrasonography and percutaneous cholangiography demonstrated biliary ascariasis. The patient was successfully treated with mebendazole and antispasmolytic drugs.
Late hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a rare complication of vitamin-K deficiency and is especially associated with intracranial hemorrhage. It may also occur in infants who received vitamin-K prophylaxis at birth. Here, we reported a case of late HDN with frontal lobe hemorrhage due to vitamin-K deficiency. This form of intracranial hemorrhage of late HDN has been reported in the literature very rarely. We conclude that the efficiency of single-dose vitamin-K prophylaxis should be revaluated.
