Anisakiassi is a parasitic infectious disease caused by eating raw, infected fish, It causes severe abdominal pain-like acute abdomen, but not fatal, Anisakiasis was firstly reported by van Thiel et al. In 1960 in Netherlands and it has
subsequently
been reported in the Netherlands, Japan, the United states, Korea as well as other nations. Because Koreans like eating raw fish, the anisakiasis of the stomach was occasionally reported, but the case of severe gastric bleeding was very rare.
So we report one case of gastric ulcer bleeding due to gastric anisakis larve proven by endoscopy and gastric resection.
