| Open Access | EFFECTS OF ASCARIASIS ON THE MUCOSAL LAYER OF THE SMALL INTESTINE
Solieva Gulchehra Abdurakhmonovna , Assistant Professor of Histology, Cytology and Embryology, CAMU International Medical UniversityAbstract
Ascariasis, a parasitic infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, significantly impacts the small intestine's mucosal layer. This study explores the pathological changes induced by the parasite, including inflammation, villous atrophy, and disruption of nutrient absorption. Understanding these effects is crucial for developing effective treatments and preventive measures.
