Huevo de Hymenolepis nana
Hymenolepis nana ( with polar filaments and

H nana
Œuf d'Hymenolepis nana
Hymenolepis nana. Based on size and presence of hooklets in the oncosphere. I can just make out polar filaments in one part of the image too. The patient demographic (child) also fits with this diagnosis.
Yes, I would agree with the previous answers. H. nana egg with polar filaments and booklets.

he received an unexpected treat
