  • Co-infection with Enterobius vermicularis and Taenia saginata mimicking acute appendicitis.
    Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kasra Hassanjani Saravi, Fakhar, Javad Nematian, Maryam Ghasemi
    Abstract:

    In this report, we describe an unusual case of verminous appendicitis due to Enterobius vermicularis and Taenia saginata in a 29-year-old woman from Iran. The histopathological examinations and parasitological descriptions of both worms found in the appendix lumen are discussed. The removed appendix exhibited the macroscopic and microscopic features of acute appendicitis. Antihelminthic Therapy was initiated with single doses of praziquantel for the taeniasis and mebendazole for the enterobiasis, and the patient was discharged.

  • Teaching NeuroImages: Giant cystic echinococcosis with unusual imaging manifestations.
    Neurology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Dekang Nie, Liang Xia, Jian Chen, Wei Shi, Guan Sun, Guo Jun
    Abstract:

    A 6-year-old girl presented with a 3-month history of progressive left-eye strabismus and vision loss. MRI scan of the brain showed a single hypointense lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere with no perilesional edema or contrast enhancement (figure 1, A–C). At surgery, the lesion was shown to be a single large parasitic cyst measuring approximately 7.0 × 6.5 × 6.0 cm (figure 2, A–C). The patient underwent a complete resection and then was given Antihelminthic Therapy. This resulted in an uneventful recovery. Pathology confirmed a diagnosis of brain cyst with scolex. This imaging feature of giant cystic echinococcosis is very unusual.1 In the event of neurologic dysfunction or elevated intracranial pressure, emergent operative intervention should precede the administration of Antihelminthic medications as the latter may weaken the cyst membrane and complicate resection. Gross total resection has advantages compared with nonsurgical treatment with Antihelminthics.2 The authors thank staff of the Department of Neurosurgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University for technical assistance and equipment support.

  • acute anuria after a family vacation to corsica france
    Parasitology Research, 2016
    Co-Authors: Joachim Richter, Martha Holtfreter, Gabriel Mouahid, Hélène Moné
    Abstract:

    A 12-year-old male patient suffered hematuria. Histopathology of a biopsy showed granulomata suspicious for schistosomiasis. The patient had never travelled outside Europe during his entire lifetime. He had taken frequent bathes in various rivers during his last family holidays 5 months earlier in Corsica. Microfiltration of urine revealed viable ova of Schistosoma haematobium with alterated size and shape. Ultrasonography showed a large focal echopoor mass attached to the bladder roof. Four days after Antihelminthic Therapy, the patient suffered inferior abdominal pain and acute anuria. Ultrasound revealed an approximately 5-cm mass in the bladder lumen suspicious for a large blood clot. After taking non-invasive measures such as drinking high amounts of fluid and treating the lower abdomen with a warm water bag and massage, the clot was excreted with urine and symptoms subsided. The further course was uneventful until 11 months later when hematuria recurred. This time, parasitological urine examination confirmed non-viable schistosome ova. Hematuria was likely due to erosion of the bladder mucosa by calcified non-viable ova.

  • Arthritis associated with Strongyloides stercoralis infection in a HLA B-27-positive African
    Parasitology Research, 2006
    Co-Authors: Joachim Richter, Irmela Müller-stöver, Harald Strothmeyer, Klaus Göbels, Markus Schmitt, Dieter Häussinger
    Abstract:

    A 44-year old West-African living in Germany since 18 years presented because of persistent painful swelling of both ankle joints and diffuse lymphoedema of feet occurring after a trip to Morocco. Laboratory tests revealed inflammation and eosinophilia. HLA-B27 was positive. Antinuclear antibodies and rheuma factors were not found. There was no evidence of an infection with bacteria or viruses known to cause arthritis. Filariasis was excluded. Microscopy of fresh stool revealed larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis . Symptoms resolved after specific Antihelminthic Therapy with ivermectin 0.2 mg kg^−1 day^−1 for 2 days and non-steroidal anti-inflammatorials. Reactive arthritis is known to be caused by various bacterial agents. In some individuals, arthritis may be due to helminths, such as S. stercoralis . Patients with strongyloidiasis may respond to non-steroidal anti-inflammatorials but must not undergo treatment with corticosteroids before having received Antihelminthic Therapy because immunosuppression may result in life-threatening strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome.
