This week's fun case was generously donated by Dr. José Poloni, one of my Twitter buddies (@JoseTesser). The object below was found in the undergarments of a 35 year-old woman. No other history is provided. Identification? How would you sign this case out?
A grass seed?
ReplyDeleteCould it be a pupa of a drain, sink or filter fly of the family Psychodidae? It looks however also to a pupa of family Ephydridae.
ReplyDeleteFruit fly pupa
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a dipteran pupa.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anatoly: fruit fly pupa (Drosophilidae).
No medical significance.

ReplyDeletewhat on Earth is this insect larva? I made a couple of searches yet did not find a suitable identification. As such, I can only say that it is an insect larva, most likely an incidental finding with no clinical relevance.

Nauplius di Crostaceo?
ReplyDeleteI do not recognize this critter. Has the appearance of an immature aquatic diptera. I was particularly interested in the 2 palmate gills. But I know of no aquatic dipteran that looks quite like this.
ReplyDeleteAfter checking out images of fruit flly pupae I agree with Anatoly and Idzi. The irony is I probably have endless numbers of these critters residing in my kitchen waste recycling bin. Jokes on me.
