🐍 Parasitology Exercise
During a routine medical examination of food service personnel, helminth eggs of large size (75 × 50 µm), broadly oval shape, yellow-brown color, with a clearly defined operculum at one pole, were found in the feces of one cafeteria worker. The patient presents no complaints and considers himself healthy. Upon questioning, it was revealed that he recently spent a vacation in Karelia, where he frequently ate undercooked pike and perch caught locally.
❓Questions: What helminth’s eggs were found in the worker? What disease does this parasite cause? Should the cafeteria worker be suspended from work?
ANSWER TOMORROW!
