This week's case is from Idzi Potters and the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp. The following object was identified in a stool specimen following the glycerin sedimentation technique. It measures approximately 150 micrometers long. How would you sign this case out?

Schistosoma mansoni
S mansoni
I cannot believe it! Idzi giving out a freebie, one that can be identified without pain. The size, the shape, the lateral spine and even a live miracidium inside. Every detail fits S. mansoni to a T. The photography is superb.
Live Schistosoma mansoni egg with active miracidium! I’ll be seeing Idzi later this week!
