Presentation

In the present study we investigated whether MBL binds to the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] of the present patient. [jamanetwork.com]

Skin

  • Ulcer

    […] provided that this response is well controlled.[10] Many experimental results have shown that Trichinella spp. infection can ameliorate some immune-mediated diseases (Table 1) such as allergic[11] and autoimmune diseases, for example, Crohn's disease,[12] ulcerative [medscape.com]

Treatment

Abstract Trichinella spiralis larvae infective for laboratory mice were collected from muscle biopsies performed at different times (from 1 day to 16 months) following the end of treatment, indicating the failure of mebendazole to kill Trichinella parasites [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

[…] weeks after cyst-containing meat Myalgia, Swelling & Weakness Disease may be self limitied Systemic: Fever; Periorbital edema Skin: Maculopapular rash; Splinter hemorrhages Cardiac: Congestive failure; Arrhythmias Encephalitis: Normal spinal fluid Poor prognosis [web.archive.org]

Prognosis for severe cases including cardiac or cerebral complications is not good. Despite therapy, lethality in cases with high infection intensity was up to 5%. [doi.org]

Etiology

This species is also the most important etiological agent to cause disease in humans ( 125 ). [doi.org]

Epidemiology

Epidemiology and infection. 2012 Feb; [PubMed PMID: 21489335] [9] MacLean JD,Poirier L,Gyorkos TW,Proulx JF,Bourgeault J,Corriveau A,Illisituk S,Staudt M, Epidemiologic and serologic definition of primary and secondary trichinosis in the Arctic. [statpearls.com]

RESULTS: An epidemiological investigation showed that the disease was linked to the consumption of infected pork and/or smoked pork products and affected the household members of four families. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Many epidemiological data support the postulate that infection with helminths might provide some protection against allergic and autoimmune diseases. [medscape.com]

Prevention

Molting and ecdysis in vitro required entry of the parasite into cells; conditions that prevented entry into cells also prevented ecdysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
