In late November and early December, a hospital in western Florida started to see a spike in the number of cases of acute gastroenteritis-like symptoms. Patients began arriving at the emergency department complaining of excessive bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. They also complained of abdominal pain and cramping, and most were severely dehydrated. Alarmed by the number of cases, hospital staff made some calls and learned that other regional hospitals were also seeing 10 to 20 similar cases per day. 1) What are several possible causes of this outbreak? 2) In what ways could these cases be linked, and how could any suspected links be confirmed?
Answer Directly During this pandemic, a kid was brought to a local clinic because of abdominal pain, slight fever, and vomiting. Upon check-up, the doctor also recommended a fecal analysis, and truly enough, eggs of a parasitic nematode are found. He was then immediately prescribed an anti-helminthic drug. When interviewed, the mother said that the kid had only been playing in their backyard since the start of the quarantine period. She also insisted that she has not seen any worms in their backyard to have caused the infection. Why did the mother NOT see any adult nematodes in the backyard? With the great load of eggs found, how long did the kid has that infection before the signs and symptoms appeared? Why is it important to study the lifecycles of parasitic nematodes? Describe two reasons.
