BACKGROUND-to explor the infections associated with acute appendicitis in surgically removed appendices in Diyala.

Additionally specimens from 25 appendices were processed and examined histopathologically.
Results: The rate of parasitic infection in surgically removed appendices was 26.2%. the rate of single parastic infection was 23.1%, while the rate of two parasticwas 3,1%. there were insignificant differences in the rate of infection regarding the sex and age of patients . Additionally there were significant differences in the histopathological changes observed in appendices with parastic infection compared to those without infection.
