40,000 Worms

This is an interesting pathology case. I’ve read cases indicating a couple hundred worms were found, but this case goes into the thousands! The below link is on a pathology report from my library of findings. As time permits, I may present other cases that I've collected. Huge picture of the culprit in the beginning, ugh, but in black and white! The presentation, slides, and radiographic material is very good reading. (If you read through the rest of the link there are other cases too that are interesting to read about findings in muscles, heart, lungs, etc.)

“They may be present in enormous numbers, with 40,000 worms found at autopsy in one patient.”
