Diagnosis. 1  If no abnormalities: suspect prerenal or postrenal azotemia. 2  If eosinophils: suspect acute interstitial nephritis. 3  If red blood cell casts: suspect glomerulonephritis or vasculitis. 4  If renal tubular epithelial cells and muddy brown casts: suspect acute tubular necrosis.
The ribbon worm, also called proboscis worm, bootlace worm, nemertean, or nemertine, is any member of the phylum Nemertea. Nemertea is also called Nemertinea or Rhynchocoela. There are more than 900 Nemertea species, including free-living forms as well as parasites of sea squirts, crustaceans, and mollusks. Most Nemertea are found in marine habitats, but some may live on land (terrestrial) or in freshwater. There are 13 known terrestrial ribbon worm species recorded worldwide.
1. Taenia solium. T.solium, also known as pork tapeworms, can measure up to 10m when mature and are among the biggest of these ribbon-like worms to infect humans. They do this through larval cysts in undercooked pork that hatch in the stomach and quickly grow into adult worms which inhabit the intestine, feeding on the nutrients you eat. Disease is generally restricted to malnutrition as the worm competes with you for food â unless you ingest eggs rather than a cyst.
