An 18-year-old female presented a worm-like object to her primary health care provider, claiming it was found in her stool. She spent two months in Mexico five years prior and admitted seeing similar objects in her stool over the course of the five years. The specimen was sent to the county public health laboratory for testing. Stool specimens were also collected in 10% formalin for formalin-ethyl acetate (FEA) concentration. Q6: What is your diagnosis? Based on what criteria? the worm-like object after injecting with blue dye. observed in low numbers on an unstained wet mount of concentrated stool 30-34 µm

Question
### Case Study:

An 18-year-old female presented a worm-like object to her primary health care provider, claiming it was found in her stool. She spent two months in Mexico five years prior and admitted seeing similar objects in her stool over the course of the five years. The specimen was sent to the county public health laboratory for testing. Stool specimens were also collected in 10% formalin for formalin-ethyl acetate (FEA) concentration.

#### Q6: What is your diagnosis? Based on what criteria?

**Images and Observations:**

1. **Left Image:**
   - The image depicts the worm-like object after being injected with blue dye. The object appears elongated and segmented.

2. **Right Image:**
   - This image shows a circular object measuring 30-34 micrometers in diameter, observed in low numbers on an unstained wet mount of concentrated stool.

### Analysis:

Determine the diagnosis based on the object's characteristics and the patient's history, considering her travel to Mexico and the persistence of similar objects in her stool. Consider the size, appearance, and clinical history for accurate diagnosis.
