Human sparganosois was reported more than 100 cases in Korean population. However no case reported yet in Korea as a patient was infected by sparganum from other geographical area, such as Thailand.
The case we are reported here is a 38 year-old Korean male who had been suffered from mass being a small, round and soft consistance in upper portion of his right thigh. The patients stated that he had an opportunity to eat living snake in
Bangkok,
Thailand during trip. As therapy praziquantel (75 mg/kg/day) was given p.o.for 14 days, but in vain to cure.
Following medical treatment, surgical exicision was performed to remove a alive, soft, whitish milky, mobile and elongated sparganum.
Serlogical test by micro-ELISA for sparganum-specific antibody revealed a high serum antibody level of absorbance 0.67 (positive criterion: absorbance 0.22).
