Woman Pees Worms For Three Months Uti Turns Out To Be Fly Infestation

Doctors have described the strange case of a woman plagued with worms wriggling in her urine.

The 50-year-old came to hospital complaining that for the past three months she had been passing worms when she went to the toilet.

She was also finding urinating extremely painful and suffering from pain in her side.

Describing her case in the journal BMJ Case Reports, doctors asked her to perform a urine sample.

This revealed multiple small, dark, 0.5cm long larvae clear to naked eye.

Further testing revealed the larvae were not technically worms but belonged to the Dipteria species of fly, known to cause a condition called myasis.

The patient, from South Carolina, was diagnosed immediately with urinary myasis, where a fly lays its eggs in the body and worms infest the urinary tract.

Urinary myasis is generally caught when people drink water sources contaminated with fly eggs.

Other myasis infestations can occur in the skin, eyes, nasal passages and gastrointestinal passage – but urinary myasis is the most uncommon, they said.

Normally, the condition is only seen in developing countries or in people whose immune systems are compromised.

The patient told doctors she had diabetes, which is linked with a compromised immune system with less capacity to fight off infections and parasites.

But doctors noted her condition was well-managed, and there was no blood in her urine.


She had no idea how she came to be infected – but did tell medics she had recently relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, from Mexico, where myasis is more common.

She had not had any procedures involving her genitourinary tract or pelvis, and had not had a catheter – a tube put into the body to drain urine or fluid – put in.

As they had never seen an American citizen with urinary myasis before, doctors were forced to consult the medical literature to find out how to treat it.

After researching, they prescribed her ivermectin, a drug used to treat parasites.

A week later the woman reported she had not seen any larvae in her urine - and a camera put into her urinary tract confirmed there were no more larvae.

In light of her case, doctors urged others to consult the medical literature in uncommon cases, as it could lead to better treatment.

This gives a whole new meaning to Montezuma's revenge :eek:. I mean coming back from Mexico with the runs is one thing but this is the equivalent of someone's grandmother casting a spell on you coz you offended her in someway. Who the fuck this woman make angry before she came back to the states?
 
Literally. :jawdrop:

"So for like the past few months, I pee and see these little wiggly things come out and then they play in the toilet, almost like little grow-your-own sea horses kits!
BUT, now I'm in a little pain right about here, think you can help me, doc?"

NOOOO!!!!
 
OMG!! I have enough problems, worms would just put me right over the edge!

One idea of a worm would have sent me SCREAMING to the ER, fuck that waiting 3 months!

Some people are just too calm about things like this.
I used to watch this show on animal planet.
This chick went to use the bathroom and pooped out a worm. She wrapped it in tissue, put it in her pocket and went back to work. Then she tried for 3 months to cure herself with tea and incense. I'm pretty sure I would have called 911 and demanded sirens and lights to the ER.
 
After coming to from a dead faint due to seeing little wrigglers in my urine I would have been like a streak of lighting beating a path to my doctors office. Living with that going on for 3 months not having a clue of what those wrigglers were, can't imagine!! :eek:y:

You had worms? Shit, that sucks .... :jawdrop:
 
I can't imagine having worms coming out your pee hole and not immediately freaking the fuck out about it. I wouldn't be able to sleep, eat, or think until the pee hole worm situation was fixed, by any means necessary, ASAP.
Within minutes, i would be headed for the closest big hospital with an infectious disease specialist, in fact i would be on the phone with that hospital, making it clear approximately when i would arrive, and that my vag was in immediate need of attention because oh. My. God!!!
 
I would have refused to leave the ER the very first time I went until the worms were eradicated. I would have freaked out. Can't even imagine dealin with this!
 
HURLLLLLLL>>>>> Seriously, how did she get eggs in there?? She must have been swimming in some 3rd world river or used the cat box as a toilet to get infested. Nasty!

Hands her this to pee on:

Omg. You poor thing. If you don't mind me asking ... How? What? Where? And I'm strangely interested in how big.. :arghh:
If you don't mind. Sounds like you have it under control now. I worm my horses monthly, so I'm aware of what those fuckers can do!
Damn girl. :nailbiting::hug:
 
Did they figure out what type they were? There are so many strands. That is scary as fuck.

I can't imagine doing what this woman did and wait months after seeing something like a parisite in my pee! I mean wth was she thinking?
 
That sounds awful, too. Ugh. Were there any symptoms, stomach pain, weight loss, etc? What an ordeal!
Remember back in the day, when parents used to always worry about their kids getting pin worms? I haven't heard much about that for ages. I don't remember ever getting them, but i remember my grandmother telling me about it when i was little, probably as a way to keep me from fucking with things. "Get out of that puddle, you're going to get worms!" "Put that cat down before you get worms!" "Quit poking that dead bird with a stick! It has worms!"
She told me that the way to tell if you have worms is to put a piece of tape across your butthole, and when the worms sneak out at night (presumably to do some important worm business) , they'll get stuck to it. This may or may not be true, but it succeeded in horrifying me, probably more about having a piece of tape over my butthole than the actual worms. But i remember whenever another little kid was found to be wormy, we all had to take some kind of pill.

My daughter and I got pinworms about 20 years ago. I never actually saw any worms when I went potty but I took the pills because the idea of having worms in my tummy creeped me the fuck out.
We used to have a sand box in the park across from my house and cats had been using it as a litter box. That's how my little got pinworms :wtf:
I still want to throw up thinking about it.

Right? I head-desked at that. Of course consult the literature when you get a case you don't recognise. It scares me somewhat that that needed to be said. Do they usually consult an exorcist? Veterinarian maybe?

Pull stuff out of their asses?

I'm wondering if these worms were actually visible in her urine.

No one would deal with my uterine fibroid tumors 'til I made my point in dramatic fashion. I awoke one night seemingly giving birth, grabbed my crotch to try to hold it in, and produced a clot that filled a mason jar. Went to the e-room, slammed it on the counter and said "This has got to end!".
 
I don't know if it is still the case, but I learned way back that hook worms can enter through the soles of the feet and haven't gone barefoot since. Of course, we're now seeing even scarier things emerge from the dirt that make parasitic worms seem like no big deal in comparison.
