Weakness
Myalgia was observed in 88 per cent, muscle weakness in 60 per cent, myositis in 62 per cent and arthralgia in 20 per cent of the patients. The arthralgia score was strictly related to myalgias-myositis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Suggestibility
The biochemical results suggest the presence of genetic heterogeneity in T. nelsoni and support the existence of a zoogeographical segregation of the two gene pools. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Higher incidence in Alaska and Northeastern United States Autopsy studies suggest that most mild cases are probably undiagnosed. [unboundmedicine.com]

Trichinella Spiralis
Infections with the parasite Trichinella spiralis have undoubtedly been present for thousands of years, but it was only 150 years ago that the parasite was associated with clinical disease in man and subsequently with the consumption of raw or inadequately [books.google.es]
Treatment
Clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment of trichinellosis. Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy. 2003, Vol. 1, No. 3, Pages 471-482. Pozio E, Owen IL, Marucci G, La Rosa G. 2005. [web.stanford.edu]
Prognosis
T. nelsoni-related infection appears to induce musculoskeletal symptoms in the majority of patients, but the long term course and prognosis is favourable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Predominant age: 20 to 49 years, although cases were reported from all age groups Predominant sex: male female Etiology and Pathophysiology Eating undercooked meat contaminated with viable Trichinella cysts. [unboundmedicine.com]
Epidemiology
The program consisted of three symposia, each devoted to immunology, genetics, and epidemiology and control. [books.google.es]

Epidemiology Incidence Only 15 cases were reported in the United States in 2011 ( 7 )[ C ] and 12 cases in 2012 ( 1 ). Worldwide from 1986 to 2009, there were 65,000 cases and 42 deaths ( 8 )[ C ]. [unboundmedicine.com]

Prevention
Prolonged freezing may help prevent disease (less so for wild game meat). -- To view the remaining sections of this topic, please sign in or purchase a subscription -- Citation Stephens, Mark B., et al., editors. [unboundmedicine.com]
