Detection of Trichuris trichiura during colonoscopic examination is an unusual finding, at least in developed countries. We report a case of a coincidental endoscopic diagnosis of whipworm infestation performed in a patient referred to our open-access endoscopy even before a faecal examination for ova and/or parasites had been performed. Review of literature on colonoscopic diagnosis of T. trichuria is provided.

Abstract

Detection of Trichuris trichiura during colonoscopic examination is an unusual finding, at least in developed countries. We report a case of a coincidental endoscopic diagnosis of whipworm infestation performed in a patient referred to our open-access endoscopy even before a faecal examination for ova and/or parasites had been performed. Review of literature on colonoscopic diagnosis of T. trichuria is provided.
