Overview

The other diagnostic studies for whip worm infection include colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is not routinely indicated, but it can be performed in patients with nonspecific symptoms and a negative stool test for the presence of eggs.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is not performed routinely for the diagnosis of whipworm infection. It is usually an accidental finding in patients who undergo colonoscopy for routine indications. Colonoscopy can be done in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms and who have a negative stool test for the presence of eggs.

  • Colonoscopy will reveal a white, mobile, whip-like worm attached to the cecum. The thin head portion of the worm will be embedded in the mucosa, while the thicker portion will be visible within the lumen.[1][2]
