Case of the Week 511

September 18, 2018
This week's case is a centrifuged urine specimen obtained from a child from Sub-Saharan Africa. Many ovoid, elongate, and 'lemon-shaped' objects are seen, ranging in size from 50 to 150 micrometers in length.


What are these objects? Special thanks to Heather Rose, our fabulous parasitology technical specialist, for providing these images.
