Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of elimination of obstructive jaundice caused by Ascaris lumbricoides. The patient was admitted with a clinic of obstructive jaundice, presumably caused by choledocholithiasis against the background of a long history of cholelithiasis, chronic calculous cholecystitis. After two attempts of lithoextraction in the lumen of the common bile duct, a round parasite was detected, which extracted and sent for laboratory was testing, where the diagnosis of ascariasis was confirmed. The clinic of obstructive jaundice was dropped out.
