Case of the Week 608
This week's case is from Dr. Peter Gilligan. It's a histopathology image - which I know isn't always popular with the classical parasitologists! But I think you might be able to take a stab at the diagnosis regardless. The following eggs were seen in an ulcerated area of an intestinal biopsy. They measure approximately 30 micrometers in diameter. What's the identification?
