Parasitic Diseases And Acute Abdomen

Parasitic diseases as causes of acute abdominal pain are considered a serious public health problem, especially in endemic areas. According to literature reviews, the diagnosis of this pathology can be delayed or incorrect, because it is often confused with other non-parasitic pathologies that also cause acute abdominal pain. In light of this problem, the objective of the current context is focused on developing compendiums on parasitic diseases that cause acute abdominal pain, in attempts to update the information first, and second, to offer health professionals knowledge concentrated in a few pages, since the information is dispersed, and therefore, difficult to obtain. This document offers an analysis of parasitic diseases that are commonly accompanied by acute abdominal pain as a tool for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
