Ascaris lumbricoides: The largest of the roundworms that appear as tubes greater than 3 inches in length are ascaris. These can be present for lengthy time periods and if the infection load is great produce many different complications. There are not many other worms that can be seen macroscopically. Have a laboratory examine the stools.
