Presentation
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]
Entire Body System
- Pain
Symptoms occur from two forms of the disease; one causes diarrhea and the other may include muscle pain, fever, headache, joint and neck pain. Many people have mild symptoms or no symptoms. [novatravelclinic.com]
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]
- Anemia
All animals had weight loss, weakness, marginal anemia, and elevated serum enzymes. Affected animals had high hemagglutinating antibody titers to Sarcocystis antigen. [science.sciencemag.org]

Heavy infestations, signs commensurate with sarcosporidiosis include fever, mild anemia, chronic myositis, abortion and muscle wasting. [vetbook.org]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
During his recent position as a Senior Director of Media Relations at Burson-Marsteller International in Istanbul, Serdar led his team to create “Turkey’s Aspiration Map & Entrepreneurial DNA” study for Intel. [dijitalkss.com]
Gastrointestinal

Disease symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and paralysis are produced by sarcocystin, a toxin produced by the organism. [connects.catalyst.harvard.edu]

Occasionally, mild fever, diarrhea, chills, vomiting and respiratory problems may occur. [cdc.gov]

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]

Musculoskeletal
- Myalgia
Non-Malaysians had a median duration of symptoms longer than that of Malaysians (27.5 days vs. 14 days, p = 0.001) and were more likely to experience moderate or severe myalgia compared to mild myalgia (83.3% vs. 40.0%, p = 0.002). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]
Treatment
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]

The food ingested prior to the appearance of symptoms was important in making the definitive diagnosis of the parasite as S. hominis, as well as the incubation period and treatment. [jmmcr.microbiologyresearch.org]

Etiology
To rule out any parasitological etiology among 23,875 (aged 2 months to 95 years) apparently immunocompetent Iranian individuals (from October of 2010 to June of 2016) with abdominal discomforts referred to several teaching hospitals and local clinical [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
In this minireview, we provide an update on the epidemiology and diagnosis of human sarcocystosis and propose some tools that could contribute to a better understanding of the clinical significance and epidemiology of Sarcocystis infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
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]
