Clinical case: acute neurological syndrome after consuming poultry. Examination of a brain biopsy smear and electron microscopy findings.
🐍Parasitology Case: ❗ During a holiday, an undercooked turkey dish was served. The patient developed an acute neurological syndrome, which required a brain biopsy. The following objects were identified in a brain tissue smear using Giemsa stain (100x magnification with immersion) (see image #1). Transmission electron microscopy (images #2 and #3).
❓ Questions: Which parasite was identified? What other parasites can be acquired by eating undercooked turkey?
