Doctors took out 105 roundworms from the stomach of a three-year-old girl after an operation at a city hospital in Surat recently. Shraddha Rathod was operated upon at the Civil Hospital after her constant complaints of stomach pain. To the surprise of doctors, they found a 105 roundworms inside the small intestine of Shraddha, said Piyush Anajwala of the hospital.
Worms are present in the stomach of young children, but, in the case of Shraddha, the number was too high, Anajwala said.
It seems the worms have bred in the girl's intestine and if she had been brought two days later to the hospital, chances of her survival would have been slim, he said.The worms were taken out after the two-hour-long operation. The girl's father is a daily wager in the city.
