| Article Title: | Excretion of Ascaris lumbricoides during total body irradiation |
| Abstract: | We describe the excretion of Ascaris lumbicoides, an intestinal roundworm, in the emesis of an asymptomatic patient undergoing total body irradiation. This suggests that Ascaris is sensitive to irradiation. |
