CASE STUDY 1 A 14-year-old, severely mentally disabled boy, who was 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. 1. What is the most likely identification of the parasite in question? 2. Why is this organism unique among the intestinal cestodes? 3. What is the preferred treatment for infection caused by this organism?
CASE STUDY Ruth, a 25 year office worker, decided to visit the doctor’s office after noticing changes in her body. She complained of severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and loss in appetite. But her biggest worries are her frequent skin itching, bloated belly and apparent yellowish pallor. After physically examining Ruth, the doctor ordered several laboratory tests. These include CBC, Coagulation studies, blood chemistry and Serologic tests.
