Doctor Removes Over 200 Parasitic Larvae from 12-Year-Old Girl’s Scalp After Misdiagnosis of Sun Poisoning
Extreme Trends presents a 12-year-old girl who complains about
irritation in her head. Doctor Kavita Mariwala had to remove 212 live
larvae from the scalp of twelve-year-old Brianna Skyrick due to a
serious parasite infection. Brianna screamed and informed the doctor
that they had gone to a water park that day and spent a lot of time
outside in the sun.
The doctor examined the region of her head where she had been
complaining and upon seeing that it was red, inflamed, and covered in
blisters, she concluded that she had sun poisoning. The phrase “sun
poisoning” refers to a severe case of sunburn. Blisters, discomfort, and
skin redness are often its defining characteristics. She was given an
antibiotic and placed on an intravenous fluid strip by the doctor. They
believed that the diagnosis was accurate and that they had everything
under control, and everything would turn out well.
Mother Discovers Burst Lumps on Daughter’s Head After Hospital Discharge
Brianna was discharged from the hospital after a few hours on the
drip, and Skyrick got ready to go home the next morning. However, when
Joy, who was Brianna’s mom, awakens Brianna, she observes that her
daughter is still in agony and decides to inspect her head with a
flashlight. Brianna was really astonished to see around 20 little lumps
when the doctor shone the light on her head earlier. Her mother believed
that Brianna had sun poisoning but later felt like there was more going
on. She really wanted to return to the United States.
Joy concentrates on getting everyone ready to depart, and soon they
are all boarding a plane to return home.A little time later, while Joy
was stroking her back trying to calm her down, she decided to merely
glance at her head to see what was going on. When she noticed that some
of the lumps had burst and were dripping clear liquid and blood, she was
horrified and scared.
Dermatologist Examines Patient with Severe Head Condition.
Joy shouted, “I grabbed a couple of napkins from our supply and
cleaned the area.” When Todd, who was seated a few seats away, sees Joy
motioning for him, he is startled by what he sees since it seems as
though someone took a pencil and physically stabbed Rihanna in the head
because it was in terrible condition, and there was blood everywhere.
When Todd assured Joy that everything would work out and that he
would be there to support her, Joy really felt relieved for a while, but
little did she know what was to come. When the family arrives in New
York, they accompany patient Brianna to their local hospital where
dermatologist Dr. Kavita Mariwala assumes responsibility for her
condition. She was extremely loud about how much her headaches and how
she was concentrated on one specific place. Dr. Mariwala starts her
examination.
Doctor discovers head infestation in 12-year-old girl
She saw these little shadow erosions that almost looked like
erosions, but when she looked at them closely, they suddenly moved up
and down like that. After looking at the lesions for a while, she bent
down and maybe was two inches from her scalp when she heard the sound,
and that’s when she knew something was seriously wrong. Mariwala gently
inserted forceps into one of the holes and slowly pulled them back out
to see what was actually in there.
When the forceps passed the skin surface, she realized there was a
larva on the end of it. She then pulled the larva out of the hole, and
it was immediately obvious that there were many, many more. She had
never seen anyone pull a worm out of someone before, and it wriggled
back and forth. Dr. Mariwala sends the larvae for examination. Shortly
after, she makes a diagnosis: Brianna had a head infestation. Dr.
Doctor Successfully Removes Over 200 Parasitic Larvae from Girl’s Skull Using Petroleum Jelly Therapy
Mariwala chooses to suffocate them instead of attempting to coax them
to the surface, so they covered the whole region in a very thick layer
of petroleum jelly. Dr. Mariwala had no clue how many there would be.
Each time Dr. Mariwala removed more and more larvae from Brianna’s skull
over the course of the next three days as she applied the petroleum
jelly therapy every few hours. She got rid of 212 of these larvae, which
was more than she had ever expected.
