@entity2329 is considered to be one of the rare @entity166 in Japan, but recently it has been slightly increasing. This paper reports three @entity2329 cases who seemed to be infected recently in the Kitakyushu area, Japan. Case 1: A 59-year-old @entity1 in Kitakyushu City passed a round worm after continuous abdominal @entity158 . The @entity1 was discharged from the hospital because of no further abnormal intestinal symptoms and findings. Case 2: An 85-year-old @entity1 in Nakama City, who suffered from @entity385 , vomited a round worm before hospitalization. Many ascarid eggs were detected after admission, and after treatment with @entity12471 ( @entity12471 ) two round worms were passed and egg detection became negative. Case 3: A 77-year-old @entity1 in Saikawa Town vomited 3 round worms after gastrectomy due to early @entity356 . Many unfertilized eggs were also detected from the stool together with hook worm eggs, but no eggs were found after administration of @entity19839 pamoate. Morphological examination was made by a scanning electron microscope on the denticles on the dentigerous lip ridges of the worms to differentiate from possible infection with a @entity1707 parasite, @entity10130 . The three cases were diagnosed as @entity2329 due to @entity1 @entity9124 based on the following evidences that the expelled worms had 1) less pointed tips of the denticles and shallower or wider interdenticle notches, and 2) far more denticles of smaller size along the dentigerous ridges, compared with @entity10130 . The necessity of differentiating @entity1707 - from @entity1 -ascarids, when considering @entity1 infection with @entity10130 , is discussed.
