The prevalence of worms in children is higher due to the habit of playing in mud or outdoors which is not found in the case of an infant. Very rarely worm infestation is observed in infants. There is a need for an investigation to be carried out for live worms in the stool. Sometimes the change in the diet of the infant, irregular bowel movements, and worm-like things in stool makes an alarming situation. We report the original case of a 6-month-old infant camouflaging for worm infestation due to the presence of the thread-like parasite in stool. The routine stool and chemical analysis of black thread thing from stool revealed solid diet fibers of banana and not any parasitic infection. 2020 artículo científico 2695-5075 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=692072539021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6920/692072539021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6920/692072539021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6920/692072539021/692072539021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6920/692072539021/movil https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4125436 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6920 Iberoamerican Journal of Medicine application/pdf Hospital San Pedro Iberoamerican Journal of Medicine (España) Num.3 Vol.2 |
