A limited review of human muscle sarcocystosis and an outline of the gaps in the knowledge of this infection is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hoarseness

  The case was a 66-year-old man who presented with voice hoarseness for six months. Physical examination and computed tomography revealed an ulcerative exophytic mass on the right true vocal cord, suggestive of laryngeal carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Pain

  Case presentation: A 19‐year‐old male presented with diffuse abdominal pain, watery non‐bloody diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and intermittent low‐grade fever that lasted for more than 3 weeks. [jmmcr.microbiologyresearch.org]

• Chronic Diarrhea

  We studied a 31-year-old patient with AIDS, chronic diarrhea, cholestatic hepatitis, and musculoskeletal pain by stool analysis and endoscopy with duodenal and liver biopsy specimens that were processed for routine histology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hepatomegaly

  Physical examination revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes with hepatomegaly. There was bilateral calf tenderness with evidence of proximal myopathy. Full blood picture showed lymphocytosis with reactive lymphocytes and eosinophilia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Subcutaneous Nodule

  Seven members of a 15-man U.S. military team that had operated in rural Malaysia developed an acute illness consisting of fever, myalgias, bronchospasm, fleeting pruritic rashes, transient lymphadenopathy, and subcutaneous nodules associated with eosinophilia [ajtmh.org]

• Pruritic Rash

  Seven members of a 15-man U.S. military team that had operated in rural Malaysia developed an acute illness consisting of fever, myalgias, bronchospasm, fleeting pruritic rashes, transient lymphadenopathy, and subcutaneous nodules associated with eosinophilia [ajtmh.org]

• Calf Pain

  He had bilateral calf pain and lower limb weakness 2days prior to admission. Physical examination revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes with hepatomegaly. There was bilateral calf tenderness with evidence of proximal myopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Muscle Weakness

  Infection of the striated muscle of mammals by parasites of the genus SARCOCYSTIS. Disease symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and paralysis are produced by sarcocystin, a toxin produced by the organism. [connects.catalyst.harvard.edu]

  When humans become infected with sarcocysts of non-human species, the infections are not intestinal but rather result in muscle cysts; symptoms such as myalgia, muscle weakness and transitory edema may occur. [cdc.gov]

• Musculoskeletal Pain

  We studied a 31-year-old patient with AIDS, chronic diarrhea, cholestatic hepatitis, and musculoskeletal pain by stool analysis and endoscopy with duodenal and liver biopsy specimens that were processed for routine histology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Suggestibility

  The largely non-specific clinical features of this illness suggest that S. nesbitti may be an under diagnosed infection in the tropics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Conclusion The available data on the behavioral ecology of dhole and chital suggest that they are likely to meet the stability criteria and therefore a predator-parasite mutualism can be stable in this system. [bmcecol.biomedcentral.com]

  Freedman (1990) suggested that a mutualistic association between the predator and parasite might exist. [cambridge.org]

• Facial Swelling

  Facial swelling from myositis of jaw muscles occurred in 9 (10%) patients. The median duration of symptoms was 17 days (IQR 7 to 30 days; range 3 to 112). Out of 4 muscle biopsies, sarcocysts were identified in 3. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Limb Weakness

  He had bilateral calf pain and lower limb weakness 2days prior to admission. Physical examination revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes with hepatomegaly. There was bilateral calf tenderness with evidence of proximal myopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Entamoeba Histolytica

  The most common co-infection was with Entamoeba histolytica/dispar/moshkovskii (n = 24; 24.5%, 16.0-33.0), followed by Giardia spp. (n = 3; 3.1%, -0.3-6.5). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Giardia Lamblia

  The prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini (14.8%), hookworm (10.2%), Sarcocystis spp (4.6%), Taenia spp (2.9%), Strongyloides stercoralis (2.1%), Giardia lamblia (1.2%), Echinostoma spp (0.6%), Ascaris lumbricoides (0.4%), Entamoeba histolytica (0.2%), [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  Schizont stages of the protozoa were found in liver biopsy. In summary, sarcocystosis should be considered another opportunistic infection in HIV-infected patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Improvement and cure coincided with treatment with cotrimoxazole. A limited review of human muscle sarcocystosis and an outline of the gaps in the knowledge of this infection is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An epidemiological survey was conducted in Khon Kaen Province involving 1124 stool samples using the modified Kato technique. The greatest frequency was Opisthorchis viverrini at 32.0% while the second highest was Sarcocystis spp at 8.0%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is no vaccine to prevent sarcocystosis. Travellers are advised not to touch or feed animals, not to touch animal droppings, avoid contaminated soil, use food and water safety precautions, if swimming avoid water in the mouth, eyes or nose. [novatravelclinic.com]
