institutionalized in a state facility, was evaluated for episodes of chronic diarrhea, anal pruritis, restless nights, and occasional vomiting. Significant laboratory findings were a 10% eosinophilia, an IgE level of 225 IU/mL, and microscopic examination of a stool concentrate that revealed
two thin-shelled, oval-shaped eggs measuring 45 by 35 um
in size and containing three pairs of hooklets and polar
filaments.
