Intestinal capillariasis is a newly described malabsorption syndrome caused by a species of roundworm, Capillaria philippinensis.
Roentgenologic examinations of the small intestine performed on 14 patients revealed a consistent malabsorption pattern characterized by scattering of barium and mucosal fold alteration.
The severity and distribution of these and other alterations are discussed and compared to malabsorption patterns caused by other intestinal diseases.
