Noticed Small Bugs In The Urine Sample
My grandaughter is 2 1/2 yrs old. In the hospital w/bronchitis and sinusitis. She just did a urine specimin after not voiding for approx. 8 or 9 hrs in a large clear container. The urine had what appeared to be small bugs in it. Almost looked like fleas. What could this be? Nurse, states, "probably some type of parasite coming from rectum", but that many? Looked like around 20 or so... No Stool, urine only, no c/o's itching, burning, etc, vomiting, 103 temp, and this just unexpectedly happened...

Hi,
From history it seems that due to urine sample remained in container there might be contaminated with fleas or its larva producing these worm like appear5ance.
Passing of worms this much amount and that too in urine is less likely.
Go for another fresh urine sample and go for observing.
Ok and take care.
