HELMINTH GENUS NAMES TO MATCH TO THE CASE STUDY:      

Taenia Ascaris Enterobius

Schistosoma Trichinella

Case 1:

A 4-year-old female arrived at the emergency department with abdominal pain, vomiting and a 3-day history of diarrhea. She also exhibited tachycardia, bloating with no bowel sounds, and a palpable mass in the area of the right ileum. An X-ray of the area revealed air fluid levels and the shadow of roundworms in a “whirlpool” image. The ileum was nearly obstructed, and the patient underwent laparotomy to remove the worms. A mass of white worms was removed, with the smallest measuring 16 cm in length and the largest 35 cm in length.

After surgery, the patient was given hydration and antibiotics for 72 hours. Once peristalsis restarted, the patient was placed on albendazole for 3 days and was told to return for another round of albendazole in 6 weeks.

Case 2:

A 30-year-old man had made three trips to India between August 2012 and May 2013. On each trip, he had stayed for several weeks with an assigned host family. After returning from the third trip, the man noticed a subcutaneous nodule on his left neck. The nodule was painless. It was also at this time the he reported having a little nausea several hours after eating. When he noticed “noodle-like” material expelled in his feces, he sought medical attention. A subsequent collection of a stool sample revealed small white segments of gravid proglottids. A physical examination revealed other subcutaneous lesions that were palpable in the lower jaw, neck and lateral abdomen. A biopsy of one of the lesions from his abdomen revealed a white cyst that showed characteristics of a scolex and an invaginated neck. The patient was diagnosed with disseminated cysticercosis. He was treated with albendazole and oral prednisone for two weeks in an attempt to expel the worm or worms.

Case 3:

A 39-year-old middle school biology teacher collected shells as souvenirs for her students from her summer vacation in Thailand and The Phillipines. She collected a large number of shells from beaches, lakes, rivers and streams in both countries. After returning from her trip, she went to a health clinic with complaints of mild to moderate episodes of intestinal cramping. The cramping had become more severe and frequent within the last two weeks, and her abdomen felt bloated. She went to the clinic after noting a small amount of blood in her stool.  

An examination revealed that the patient was slightly febrile and exhibited an elevated eosinophil count. A stool sample was collected and sent for analysis. The examination revealed eggs that measure 60 x 90 micrometers. No adult worms were found in the stool sample, but generally the adult worm is a fluke with separate male and female forms. The worms are generally yellow to brown in color and can measure 8-28 millimeters in length.

The patient was placed on praziquantel for 2 days.

Case 4:

In December of 2016, a celebration gathering of friends and family members dined on a variety of pork dishes. The pork meat had come from a domesticated wild boar raised and slaughtered on a private farm in Northern California. One of the pork dishes was in the form of a traditional Laotian dish in which the meat is served raw.

In January of 2017, one of the dinner attendees presented to a hospital with fever, myalgia, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The patient reported that four other friends and family members had been evaluated at area hospitals with the same symptoms. Bloodwork revealed 10% eosinophils. A subsequent IgG antibody test detected antibody against the suspected pathogen.

Contact information was obtained for most of the people that had attended the celebration. Overall, 36 of the attendees exhibited symptoms of fever, muscle aches, bloating, vomiting and diarrhea. Nine people were hospitalized: six with indication of damage to the myocardium, two with acute kidney injury and one with blood sepsis.

Samples of the raw pork were taken from leftover meat that had been frozen and were analyzed microscopically. Cysts containing spiraled juvenile worms were found in the frozen boar meat. The farmer who raised the boar was asked if the farm had infestations of rats or mice.

The patients were placed on albendazole. Those hospitalized required prolonged treatments.

Case 5:

A 12-year-old male was seen at a gastroenterology clinic following 2 weeks of abdominal pain. The patient also reported an itching sensation around the perianal region. The abdominal pain was diffuse (not localized) but had worsened in the prior 5 days. The pain was pronounced enough to prevent the patient from attending school. He was evaluated for appendicitis, which was ruled out. A follow-up endoscopy was performed.

During the endoscopy procedure, small, mobile worms were noted in the ascending colon. Two worms were collected: a male of 2.5 mm in length and a female of 10 mm in length. Both worms had a cuticle at the anterior end and a pointed tail. Eggs were also obtained, measuring 50-60 micrometers in size.

Usually, abdominal pain does not accompany this type of infection. In this case, the pain was attributed to an over-use of NSAIDS. Since this worm generally does not enter the stool stream, examination of the stool is unreliable for detecting the worm or eggs. An application of transparent tape to the perianal region 2-3 hours after the patient has gone to sleep is recommended to submit for a microscopic examination.

The patient and his family were given a dose of albendazole with a repeat dose to follow in 2 weeks.

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disease that affects approximately one in 500 people worldwide. There is more than one genetic cause of the disease. In one type, heterozygous individuals have cholesterol levels >250 as children and often >300 as adults. However, homozygotes have cholesterol levels of >600 as children and can die of heart attacks in their 20s. These individuals entirely lack a functional LDL receptor. Which of the following would be the best description of the inheritance of this form of hypercholesterolemia? A. dominant epistatis B. codominant C. incompletely dominant D. complementary E. recessive epistatis

Iris and Raj just found out that they are going to have a baby. Iris’s maternal grandmother had Alper’s syndrome, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Iris’s parents are normal and you can assume her father is not a carrier. There is no history of this disorder in Raj’s family, so assume no one in his family is a carrier. What is the probability this baby will be a carrier for Alper’s syndrome? A. 0 B. 1/4 C. 1/2 D. 3/4 E. 2/3
