A parasitology case: helminths were removed from the small intestine during endoscopy. Identify the parasite species by macroscopic appearance and oral capsule structure.
Parasitology Exercise
The following worms were removed from the small intestine during colonoscopy (image 1). During the procedure, the endoscopist noted several punctate hemorrhages in the surrounding mucosa and correctly concluded that these represented previous attachment sites of the worms. Light microscopy of the oral parts revealed the following (image 2). Can you identify the parasite? ANSWER TOMORROW!
A clinical parasitology case: diagnose and identify parasite forms observed during microscopic examination of a patient's skin scrape.
A parasitology clinical case: inclusions found in stool samples from a patient with anemia and dyspepsia. Identify the microscopic findings.
A parasitology case: calcified capsules with spiral larvae found in the muscles of a deceased driver. Identify the helminthiasis and its impact on the car accident.
