Case description

Video Endoscopy of Trichuris Trichuris (whipworm) Colonoscopic finding, showing a whitish worm, Trichuris trichiura, with coiled posterior end embedded in the wall of the cecum. Poor hygiene is associated with trichuriasis transmission, and children are especially vulnerable because of their high exposure risk. This is especially true in developing countries, where poor sanitary conditions correlate with heavy disease burden and infections.
