The following objects were identified from a concentrated wet mount preparation of stool. The patient was originally from China, and has a history of cirrhosis. Identification?
Based the size and morphology Fasciolopsis or Fasciola eggs.
Since the operculum is clear and the abopercular end is slighlty irregular or "roughen" appearance, I would call it, Fasciola hepatica egg This sure beats the Hookworm eggs I found this week
It looks like Paragonumus westermani.
ReplyDeleteIt looks too big to me to be a Paragonimus. It looks more like a Fasciola hepatica.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Fasciola hepatica. The miracidium are being released from the operculum.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning this topic.
ReplyDeleteBTW check the design I've made myself A level escort
Fasciola species, either buski or hepatica. BW in VT
ReplyDeleteThis parasite has a fragile egg. I have seen parts of broken eggs.In this specimen the operculum has popped probably due to pressure of the coverslip.
