A woman was suffering from a strange disease. She was drenched in sweat at night. He had symptoms like pneumonia. Apart from this, she was also troubled by abdominal pain, diarrhea and dry cough. When the doctors did an MRI of the woman's brain, they were shocked to see the report. Actually a live worm was crawling in the woman's mind. You will be surprised to know that this worm is found in snakes. Doctors say that they have not seen such a case in their entire career. This is being told as the first case of the world.
According to the report of The Guardian, the matter is of Australia. Doctors have been thinking since an 8 cm long crawling worm was found alive in the brain of a 64-year-old woman. They have been treating this woman with steroids for the last two years. But after the year 2022, the woman got depression and amnesia. After this, when the doctors did an MRI of his brain, they were shocked to see the report.
Worm found in snakes found in brain
Infectious disease specialist Dr Sanjay Senanayake in Canberra said, 'I was further shocked when the surgeon told me over the phone that the worm found in the woman's brain is found in snakes.' The scientific name of this insect is Ophidascaris robertsi. This is a special type of roundworm, which is found in carpet pythons. This species of python is found in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
This could be the reason
Doctors are now unable to understand how this worm reached the woman's mind. Experts say that this worm may have reached through the eggs of a worm lying on a leafy vegetable, which the woman had eaten. It is being told that the woman used to grow her own pet. In such a situation, there is a possibility that the egg of the worm would have been present in it.
