Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 ‘Oh my god’: live worm found in Australian woman’s brain in world-first discovery | Health | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Woman complained of forgetfulness and depression before doctors pulled out an 8cm roundworm normally found in pythons Quote It was a fairly regular day on the ward for Canberra hospital infectious diseases physician Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, until a neurosurgeon colleague called him and said: “Oh my god, you wouldn’t believe what I just found in this lady’s brain – and it’s alive and wriggling.” The neurosurgeon, Dr Hari Priya Bandi, had pulled an 8cm-long parasitic roundworm from her patient, prompting her to call on Senanayake and other hospital colleagues for advice about what to do next. Quote Ophidascaris robertsi is a roundworm usually found in pythons. The Canberra hospital patient marks the world-first case of the parasite being found in humans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
