Abstract
|
|
|
Anisakiasis refers to the accidental infection of humans by a marine nematode as a
result of eating a raw fish which contains larval stages of the nematode sub-family
Anisakidae.
This patient developed acute epigastric pain three days after eating a raw fish,
Astroconcer myriaster. Gastrofiberscopy revealed Anisakis larva invading the stomach
wall and the larva could be extracted using a biopsy forceps via gastrofiberscopy.
The worm was identified as Terranova type A larva based on their morphologic
features such as its length, width, intestinal cecum reaching to anterior one-third level
of ventriculus and a mucron at posterior end.
