Two cases of intestinal capillariasis were presented from new locations in northern Thailand, i.e., Phayao and Chiang Mai provinces. Both of them had chronic voluminous diarrhea and malabsorption. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this case report, we present another imported case of intestinal capillariasis in Korea, in which a 42-year-old male patient presented with intractable diarrhea and weight loss. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy of the ileum. [scienceopen.com]

Two Taiwanese aboriginal tribes, the Ami and Paiwan, presented a high prevalence. The males and elderly also had a high infection rate. Nine cases were diagnosed by histopathological biopsied specimens. [tmu.pure.elsevier.com]

The present study is the 6th Korean case of intestinal capillariasis and the 3rd indigenous one in the Republic of Korea. [parasitol.kr]

• Pain

  The initial symptom was epigastric pain followed by watery diarrhea. Thereafter borborygmus, frequent loose stool passage and weakness persisted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Clinical symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, borborygmi, marked weight loss, protein and electrolyte loss, and cachexia. Capillariasis may be fatal if treatment is not given early. We observed 7 cases living in the more rural areas of Taiwan. [hero.epa.gov]

• Cutaneous Larva Migrans

  Cutaneous larva migrans caused by Capillaria hepatica has been described in individual cases. Itchy papules or papulovesicles, possibly accompanied by environmental oedema, are seen at the site of entry. [altmeyers.org]

• Papule

  Itchy papules or papulovesicles, possibly accompanied by environmental oedema, are seen at the site of entry. In addition, there are tortuous, thread-like, very itchy, strongly reddened ducts, which lengthen by 1-2 cm per day. [altmeyers.org]

• Dizziness

  Clinical signs, such as weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, dizziness, anorexia, and edema, were frequently present. Laboratory parameters are presented in Table 4. [ajtmh.org]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Yet, diagnosis is difficult due to its confused presentation with other etiologies of enteropathy and unavailability of C. philippinensis antigen. [researcherslinks.com]

This article reviews the epidemiology, history and sources of C. philippinensis infection in Thailand. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The topics on epidemiology, diagnosis, and clinical aspects emphasize the knowledge gaps that limit a full understanding of these zoonoses, and target where greater research investments on these parasitic diseases should be focused. [books.google.com]

[citation needed] Prevention[edit] Prevention is as simple as avoiding eating small, whole, uncooked fish. However, in C. philippinensis endemic areas, such dietary habits are common and have been practiced for many generations. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention is especially important. There are no vaccines for parasitic diseases. Some medicines are available to treat parasitic infections. [icdlist.com]

Variations in the treatment regimen used for patients with capillariasis at the study site suggest a need to train health professionals on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cases, and on disease prevention and control. [thefreelibrary.com]
