Proposed algorithm for diagnosis of intestinal capillariasis. 1Treatment regimen: albendazole 400 mg/day for 10 days. 2Push enteroscopy is preferred to EGD due to its higher diagnostic yield and its similar availability to colonoscopy. 3Colonoscopy if push enteroscopy findings are negative. 4Route of BAE is guided by imaging or VCE findings. Abbreviations: SBFT small bowel follow through, VCE video capsule endoscopy, BAE balloon assisted enteroscopy, EGD esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
