There have been several reports of foreign bodies being discovered in the intravenous set. In this case, the patient complained that he found a worm in his intravenous line. It was later confirmed as a long, white fibrin deposit by pathologic examination. This happened even though there was a non-return valve in the intravenous line. Also, since there were few red blood cells in the deposit, it did not look like a blood clot. In cases like this, we suggest that physicians keep this possibility in mind to reassure their patients.
已经有几例报告称在静脉输液装置中发现异物。在本例中，患者抱怨在静脉输液管中发现一条虫子。后来通过病理检查证实为长而白的纤维蛋白沉积物。尽管静脉输液管中有一个止回阀，但还是发生了这种情况。此外，由于沉积物中几乎没有红细胞，因此它看起来不像血栓。在这种情况下，我们建议医生牢记这种可能性，以安抚患者。
