Q

Maria, a 5-year-old girl, presented to a local clinic complaining of diarrhea and gastrointestinal pain and bleeding.
Patient history revealed that Maria recently emigrated to the United States from Puerto Rico. The physician on duty ordered a series of stool samples for O&P. Barrel-shaped
structures, as noted below, that appeared to have plugs at each end were seen on the direct wet preps, concentrated wet preps after performing a zinc sulfate flotation method,
and permanent stains.

  1. What is the scientific name and morphologic form of the parasite present in Maria’s samples?
  2. What is the common name for this parasite?
  3. How did Maria contract this parasite?
  4. Which disease state is associated with this parasite?
  5. Which morphologic form of this parasite may be visible
    on microscopic examination of the intestinal mucosa of
    this patient?
A
  1. Trichuris trichiura egg.
  2. Whipworm.
  3. Ingestion of infective eggs.
  4. Trichuriasis; whipworm infection.
  5. Adult worms.
