Must See! Rare Pics Of Ascariasis(viewer Discretion). by Nobody: 7:25pm On Oct 06, 2015
This patient presented to my clinic with inability to stool and complete loss of appetite for 8 days prior to presentation.
Examination findings significantly revealed moderate palor with overt signs of malnutrition. Abdomen was moderately distended with a tympanic note.
A supportive diagnosis of intestinal obstruction secondary to helminthiasis was entertained and patient was admitted and placed on albendazole stat dose among other medications.
3hours later, the nurses alerted me and this was what I found...........

This could be a station in OSCE exams or a picture test question or even a steeple chase station in medical microbiology. Spot diagnosis!

I guess it should rather be a national programme, more like the guinea worm eradication programme.
