I am very close to Enterobius vermicularis Ova. Graham’s Scotch tape method. In this procedure, sticky cellophane tape applied to the anal area of the patient collects ova, which are then pressed onto a microscope slide and viewed.
Enterobius vermicularis "pin worm eggs". Use either pinworm paddle or scotch tape; press against the outside of the anus while child is sleeping. press onto microscope slide and view under microscope
Unanimous consent that it's E. vermicularis. Keep in mind that most "cellophane" tape these days is frosted which makes the microscopic a bit more challenging. Specify "clear" tape to expedite the process.
Looks like Enterobius vermicularis ova. Normally would test with scotch tape - apply first to anus, then to slide.

ReplyDeletePinworm eggs- Enterobius vermicularis
ReplyDeleteCharacteristic shape: slightly flattened on one side
SWUBE prep or adhesive tape prep
Agree with all of the above. Nice pictures of E. vermicularis. Scotch tape test is the test of choice.
ReplyDeleteEnterobius vermicularis eggs- poor little thing must be itching like crazy!
ReplyDeleteAs others have said classic Enterobius vermicularis with asymmetric oval eggs... clear tape on the perianal region is the collection method of choice.
