    c. Strongyloides stercoralis
    d. C. philippinensis

    a. Serology
    b. Duodenal aspirate exam

Q
  1. Unembryonated ova are found in the stools of emaciated fisherman. They are described as a peanut-shape with striated shells and flattened bipolar plugs. The intestinal nematode implicated here are preferrably:
    a. HW specie
    b. Lumbricoides
    c. T. trichiuria
    d. C. philippinensis
A

d. C. philippinensis

Capillaria philippinensis is an intestinal nematode that can cause severe disease, especially in individuals who consume raw or undercooked freshwater fish, which can be a source of infection. Emaciation, as mentioned in the context of the fisherman, is one of the severe manifestations of capillariasis due to malabsorption and chronic diarrhea.

124
Q
  1. An eosinophilic cell that encloses larvae of T. spiralis
    is called a:
    a. Macrophage
    b. eosinophil
    c. Nurse cell
    d. Sertoli cell
A

c. Nurse cell

When the larvae of Trichinella spiralis migrate to skeletal muscle, they induce the transformation of the muscle cell into a specialized structure called a “nurse cell.” This nurse cell provides a protective environment for the encysted larva and supports its metabolic needs.

125
Q
  1. Which is most unlikely to manifest in a patient with severe oxyuriasis?
    a. Acute appendicitis
    b. vaginitis
    c. Acute hepatitis
    d. Pruritus ani
A

c. Acute hepatitis

Oxyuriasis is caused by the pinworm Enterobius vermicularis. While pinworms primarily inhabit the large intestine and rectum, they can cause symptoms such as pruritus ani (d) due to the female worms migrating to the perianal region to lay eggs. In females, they can sometimes migrate to the genital area, potentially causing vaginitis (b). There have also been cases where pinworms are found in the appendix, leading to a diagnosis of acute appendicitis (a). However, there is no established association between oxyuriasis and acute hepatitis (c).

126
Q
  1. Loeffler’s syndrome is a result of:
    a. Skin penetration of a larva
    b. Development of the adult in the intestine
    c. Migration of larva in the lungs
    d. Ingestion of large amount of infective ova
A

c. Migration of larva in the lungs

Loeffler’s syndrome is a transient respiratory illness associated with blood eosinophilia. It is caused by the migration of certain parasitic larvae through the lungs, especially during the life cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides and some other parasites. The migration of the larvae through the lungs can lead to symptoms like cough, fever, and wheezing, and it can be seen on a chest X-ray as transient pulmonary infiltrates.

127
Q
  1. Embryonated eggs are the infective stage of:
    a. capillaria
    b. necator
    c. ascaris
    d. strongyloides
A

c. ascaris

Embryonated eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides are the infective stage for humans. When these eggs are ingested, usually from contaminated food or water, they hatch in the small intestine, releasing larvae that migrate through the body before maturing into adult worms in the intestine.

128
Q
  1. The filariform larva is the infective stage of the following nematodes except:
    a. A. lumbricoides
    b. A. duodenale
    c. N. americanus
    d. S. stercoralis
A

a. A. lumbricoides

The filariform larva is the infective stage for several nematodes, including Ancylostoma duodenale (b), Necator americanus (c), and Strongyloides stercoralis (d). However, Ascaris lumbricoides (a) has an egg as its infective stage, not the filariform larva.

129
Q
  1. The usual habitat of adult ascaris is:
    a. Large intestine
    b. Small intestine
    c. lungs
    d. liver
A

b. Small intestine

The adult Ascaris lumbricoides, which is the species responsible for ascariasis in humans, primarily resides in the small intestine.

130
Q
  1. Hyperinfection of capillariasis causes:
    a. Progeny of adult female – unembryonated thick-shelled eggs
    b. Progeny of adult female – unembryonated thin-shelled eggs
    c. Progeny of adult female – embryonated thick-shelled eggs
    d. Progeny of adult female – embryonated thin-shelled eggs
A

b. Progeny of adult female – unembryonated thin-shelled eggs

Hyperinfection with Capillaria philippinensis is characterized by the presence of large numbers of unembryonated thin-shelled eggs, which are the progeny of the adult female worms. These eggs can hatch in the intestine, leading to autoinfection, where the life cycle of the parasite is completed within the same host without the need for an external environment. This can result in a rapid increase in the number of parasites in the host, leading to severe disease.

131
Q
  1. Signs and symptoms of capillariasis
