title: [The role of helminthiasis in the etiology of acute appendicitis].
abstract: 279 vermiform processes removed for different form of appendicitis were studied hystologically with obligatory analysis of appendix content. High rate of helminth intestation (27.2%) in vermiform processes removed in acute appendicitis surgery confirms an important role of small helminths (Enterobius, Trichocephalis and their larvae) in acute appendicitis development. The incidence of acute appendicitis and helminths interstation in children is higher than in adults. All the patients with acute appendicitis need helminthological examination and etiotropic treatment because appendectomy eliminates the complication but not the cause of intestinal disease.
