Editing Ascaris lumbricoides (section)

===Symptoms===
Often, no symptoms are presented with a minor ''A. lumbricoides'' infection, the inevitable consequence being the e.g. once a year passage of such clearly visible worm(s) on close inspection. In the case of bad infections symptoms commonly include bloody sputum, cough, fever, abdominal discomfort, intestinal ulcer(s), as well as a less commonly missed passing of the quite long worms.<ref>{{MedlinePlusEncyclopedia|000628|Ascariasis}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.stanford.edu/group/parasites/ParaSites2005/Ascaris/JLora_ParaSite.htm#Symptoms|title=INTRODUCTION — Ascaris lumbricoides, an intestinal roundworm, is one of the most common helminthic human infections worldwide|access-date=7 May 2012|archive-date=4 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104151720/http://www.stanford.edu/group/parasites/ParaSites2005/Ascaris/JLora_ParaSite.htm#Symptoms|url-status=dead}}</ref> Ascariasis is the most common cause of [[Löffler's syndrome]] worldwide.
