Question Answer
nematode roundworm
cestode tapeworm
trematode fluke
pinworm (enterobius vermicularis) scotch tape test most common childhood worm infection live in caecum eggs flat on one side, round on the other
ascaris lumbricoides HUGE! live in upper small intestine diagnose by looking in stool problems caused by migration - general anesthetic or fever irritate worms and cause them to crawl around --> jaundice when get to biliary tree
whipworm (trichiuris trichura) soil transmitted helminth biopurculated (lemon) eggs light infestations aymptomatic heavy infestations -> dysentery and blood loss in stool causes trichuirs dysentery syndrome: rectal bleeding/prolapse, anemia, finger clubbin and growth stunting
soil transmitted helminths all nematodes: ascariasis hookworm trichuriasis
intestinal hookworms (2) ancyclostoma duodenale necator americanus pulmonary symptoms (cough, wheeze, bloody sputum with transient eosinophilia) occur when larvae migrate thru lungs to intestine intestinal infection usually asymp but heavy infestation = anemic
cutaneous larva migrans skin disease caused by hookworms most commonly caused by non-human hookworms ancyclostoma brasiliense
threadworm (stronglyoides stercoralis) the only helminth that can reproduce in the body filariform larvae penetrate intact skin and cause pruritis and unusual skin eruptions
anisakis spp. assoc with sashimi haul out with endoscope
tissue nematodes trichinella spiralis dracunculus medinensis (guinea worm) filariases
trichinella spiralis get from eating undercooked pork, bear, walrus, or cougar jerky assoc with periorbital edema
onchocerca volvulus (river blindness) larva transmitted by black flies prominent subcutaneous nodules microfilaria migrate to skin in daytime -> chronic skin problems migrate to cornea -> scarring + corneal opacity
guinea worm (dracunculus medinensis) subcutaenous filariasis prevented by filtration of larvae infected copepods from drinking water
subcutaneous filariasis mansonella streptocerca loa loa onchocerca volvulus (river blindness) dracunculus mediensis (guinea worm)
lymphatic filariasis (WBB) (3) wucheraria bancrofti brugia malayi brugia timori cause elephantiasis
wucheraria bancrofti lymphatic filariasis mosquito acquired larvae migrate to lymphatics and develop into adults, blocking lymph vessels microfilariae into blood or lungs -> tropical pulmonary eosinophilia
serous cavity filariasis serous cavity of abdomen mansonella perstans mansonella ozzardi
cestodes (tapeworms) (4) dwarf (hymenolesis nana) beef (taenia saginata) pork (taenia solium) fish (diphyllobothrium latum)
dwarf tapeworm (hymenolepsis nana) most common tapeworm in USA and latin america the only human tapeworm without an obligatory human host
pork tapeworm (taenia solium) acquired by ingestion of undercooked pork armed scolex lead to cysticercosis
fish tapeworm undercooked or raw freshwater fish vitamin B 12 deficiency
trematodes (4) aka flukes (BILL) blood fluke lung fluke liver fluke intestinal flule
lung fluke (paragonimus westermani) undercooked crabs or crayfish duodenum to peritoneum to lungs most common cause of hemoptysis paragonimiasis: mostly asymptomatic but pleuritic pain and hemotypsis can be there.
schistosoma mansoni blood fluke - intestinal eggs in stool lateral spike
katayama fever acute phase of schistosomiasis fever, urticaria, diarrhea, myalgia due to hypersensitivity to developing schistosomes
snail fever chronic phase of schistosomiasis due to egg deposition and inflammation fibrosis
schistosoma haematobium blood and eggs in urine terminal spike on eggs blood fluke
beef tapeworm  Motile proglottids: segment of the tapeworm; contain both male and female reproductive organs  Acquired by ingestion of rare beef
