Liputan6.com, Beijing – For eight years, an inch girl from the city of Yangzhou, the province of Jiangsu, Eastern China, made an excitement in the medical world after she has known vomiting for one whole month.
This rare case was finally resolved – not a specialist in internal medicine, but with the help of home problems that are usually found: flies in the bathroom.
For several weeks, the child continues to repeat the vomiting, accompanied by a worm 1 cm long. This condition was not tested by other family members, as a result of which the doctors were confused until, finally, they mentioned the children’s hospital of the University of Suochou.
Quote SCMPMonday (06/30/2025), Dr. Zhang Binghang, who examined the case, and then suggested that the worm will be considered by the local center of control and prevention of diseases (CDC).
The result is a worm – the larvae of drainage flies (drainage fly), or also known as Motes Small insects that are usually found in moist places, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
CDC confirmed that they found similar larvae in the body of a 60 -year -old woman. This time, the victim is a child who will probably be exposed to larvae during teeth brushing or when the water from the toilet is sprayed in his mouth, said Xui Yuhui, the head of the Department for Yangzhou.
