- CASE #2 A 25-year-old Peace Corps worker has just returned from service in Ethiopia. She experiences a sudden onset of asthma-like symptoms. She has no previous history of asthma. An O & P (ova and parasites) on her stool was part of the normal discharge physical, considering the area of assignment, before being released from the Peace Corps. The sample was processed according to standard laboratory procedures. Two suspicious structures were noted during the direct saline wet preparation. The first of the two structures is noted in form # 1; it measures 50 x 40 um. The second structure is depicted in form #2 and measures 18 um in diameter. Form 1 Form 2 1. Which of the structures is (are) considered a pathogenic parasite(s)? Do the presenting symptoms relate to the O & P findings? If so, explain. Look at the structure depicted in form #1.
