Spiral Worm Disease: Symptoms After Injury – Al-Masry Al-Youm
Here’s a summary of the news snippets provided:
First Human Injury from “Spiral Worm” Disease Confirmed in America: Sky News Arabia reports that the United States has confirmed the first human case of infection from a disease caused by a “spiral worm.”
“New World Worm” Infection Recorded in American Health Records: another report, from the Seventh, details that American health records have documented an infection from a “new world worm.”
Both articles appear to be reporting on the same emerging health concern – a parasitic worm infection recently identified in the US. The terms “spiral worm” and “new world worm” seem to be used to describe the same parasite.
