This is the third case of infection by this parasite that has been described so far in colombia, and only the first one in a person coming from the Colombian Amazon region.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/48. Eosinophilic meningitis (angiostrongylosis): a probable case.A probable case of eosinophilic meningitis is described. This report is thought to be the first of a case of this disorder diagnosed in new south wales, although infection probably occurred in queensland. The life cycle of the parasite angiostrongylus cantonensis is outlined briefly and the clinical manifestations of this disease are discussed. Treatment with thiabendazole seems to have been beneficial to this patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/48. A case of expectoration of gnathostoma spinigerum in thailand.A living adult male gnathostoma spinigerum was coughed up by a 33-year-old Thai married woman. The expectorated worm may have emerged from the pharynx. Pork is a possible source of infection in this case. The significant symptoms of her illness were migratory joint pain, chest pain, palpitation, and itchy throat, progressively. She has never had swellings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/48. conjunctivitis due to Thelazia californiensis.A patient with chronic conjunctivitis was found to have a parasitic nematode infection of the conjunctiva. The parasite was found within the cul-de-sac of the conjunctiva, entirely motile. The treatment of the conjunctivitis was simple removal of the organism, and periodic follow up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/48. Neural larva migrans caused by the raccoon roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis.Baylisascaris procyonis, the common raccoon roundworm, is a rare cause of devastating or fatal neural larva migrans in infants and young children. We describe the clinical features of two children from suburban chicago who developed severe, nonfatal B. procyonis neural larva migrans. Despite treatment with albendazole and high dose corticosteroids, both patients are neurologically devastated. In many regions of north america, large populations of raccoons with high rates of endemic B. procyonis infection live in proximity to humans, which suggests that the risk of human infection is probably substantial. In the absence of effective treatment, prevention of infection remains the most important public health strategy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/48. Abdominal angiostrongyliasis mimicking acute appendicitis and Meckel's diverticulum: report of a case in the united states and review.Two cases of children with abdominal angiostrongyliasis acquired within the united states are reported. The index patient presented with complaints consistent with appendicitis, but at surgery findings were thought to represent an atypical presentation of a Meckel's diverticulum. His sole sibling (sister) had eosinophilia, no other intestinal parasites on fecal examination, and a positive serologic test, all suggesting infection with Angiostrongylus costaricensis. Because infections with this parasite are not known to result from human-to-human transmission, his sister's infection represents a second case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/48. An unusual parasitological finding in a subcutaneous mammary nodule.While examining some histological sections of a clinically suspected neoplastic nodule in a woman's breast, sections of dirofilaria repens were noted in the same nodule along with sections of a different nematode. The latter appeared to be a specimen possibly belonging to the genus Anatrichosoma (family Trichosomoididae), a parasitic group of helminths rarely reported in humans. In view of the diagnostic interest in an exceptional event, such as a double parasitic infection in the same nodule, we report the details of the case and the morphological findings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/48. Mammomonogamus roundworm (nematoda: Syngamidae) recovered from the duodenum of a Thai patient: a first and unusual case originating in thailand.A pair of Mammomonogamus laryngeus roundworms in copula was recovered from the duodenum of a 72-year-old male Thai patient from Kanchanaburi Province. eggs were also found in the stool of the patient. This is the first case of Mammomonogamus infection originating in thailand, as the previous two reports from thailand attributed the infection as originating in malaysia. The occurrence of adult worms in the duodenum is unusual and differs from previous findings in the larynx, posterior pharynx, tracheal wall and bronchi. This adds a new dimension to the manifestation of the infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/48. Intestinal capillariasis (capillaria philippinensis) acquired in indonesia: a case report.We report a case of intestinal capillariasis in a 32-year-old Italian man. After he made a trip to indonesia that lasted approximately one month, he developed heartburn, abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, headache, fatigue, weight loss, low-grade fever, and severe itching. The diagnosis was provided by the recovery of capillaria philippinensis eggs in the stool. Treatment with oral albendazole, 200 mg twice a day for 21 days, resulted in clinical and parasitologic cure. This is the first report of C. philippinensis infection acquired in indonesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/48. gnathostomiasis: a rare nematode infection.gnathostoma, primarily an animal nematode, can infect human by the third stage larva by consumption of undercooked or raw fish, poultry, or pork. In bangladesh gnathostomiasis is a very rare condition. The first case, an ocular infection by gnathostoma was reported in 2001 from Rangpur, a northern district. This is the second case report of gnathostomiasis which also is an ocular infection, occurred in an area of greater district of Rangpur. A female patient of 32 year of age of the northern district, Nilphamari has got infected with a species of gnathostoma, manifested by the appearance of a live larva near the right lateral margin of anterior surface of iris of her right eye. The larva was removed surgically from her eye and the patient was cured from symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
