Guinea worm or Dracunculus medinensis is a well-documented helminthic infestation in many areas of Asia. In this report, we describe a rare case of guinea worm infestation in a 25-year-old woman who had developed symptoms of obstructive uropathy, in whom fragments of guinea worm were removed after urethral catheterization. To the best of our knowledge, adult guinea worm occurring in the urinary bladder has not been previously described.
麦地那龙线虫，又称几内亚龙线虫，在亚洲许多地区都是有充分文献记载的蠕虫感染。在本报告中，我们描述了一例罕见的几内亚龙线虫感染病例，患者为一名25岁女性，出现了梗阻性尿路病症状，在进行尿道插管后取出了几内亚龙线虫碎片。据我们所知，此前尚未有膀胱内出现成年几内亚龙线虫的相关描述。
