Two

living
worms
were
collected
as
they
emerged
from
the
lower
limb
of
each
of
two
persons
in
South
Sudan
.
The
worms
were
observed
by
staff
of
the
South
Sudan
Guinea
Worm
Eradication
Program
during
surveillance
activities
in
communities
at
-risk
for
cases
of
Guinea
worm
disease
(
dracunculiasis
)
.
The
worms
measured
7
and
8
cm
in
length
and
were
identified
as
fourth

larvae
of
Eustrongylides
.
This
is
the
first
report
of
such
worms
emerging
from
the
skin
;
all
five
previous
reports
of
human

involved
surgical
removal
of
worms
from
the
peritoneal

.
