Temperature of patient oscillated from 97.5 degrees to 103.2
degrees F. There was no history at any time of recto-vesical
fistula. Can anyone suggest the name, etc., of this helminth?"
Other cases of worms in the bladder are mentioned in Chapter XIII
Mitra speaks of the passage of round-worms through the umbilicus
of an adult; and there is a case mentioned in which round-worms
about seven inches long were voided from the navel of a young
child. Borgeois speaks of a lumbricoid worm found in the biliary
passages, and another in the air passages.
Turnbull has recorded two cases of perforation of the tympanic
membrane from lumbricoides. Dagan speaks of the issue of a
lumbricoid from the external auditory meatus. Laughton reports an
instance of lumbricoid in the nose. Rake speaks of asphyxia from
a round-worm. Morland mentions the ejection of numerous
lumbricoid worms from the mouth.
Worms have been found in the heart; and it is quite possible that
in cases of trichinosis, specimens of the trichinae may be
discovered anywhere in the line of cardiac or lymphatic
circulation. Quoted by Fournier, Lapeyronnie has seen worms in
the pericardial sac, and also in the ventricle. There is an old
record of a person dying of intestinal worms, one of which was
found in the left ventricle.
