Abstract
An 84-year-old female from rural Rajasthan presented with an intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur. On the 2(nd) postoperative day, a resident doctor observed the passage of worms in her urine in the indwelling catheter. She had a history of renal calculi for which she was successfully treated surgically 1 year ago. The catheter was collected and sent for microbiological examination. The suspected worm was examined both macroscopically and microscopically. There were very intriguing findings on microscopic examination and are discussed below.
