Doença causada por uma infecção pelo verme parasita Gnathostoma. Esta doença é caracterizada por um inchaço doloroso e pruriginoso sob a pele, devido ao movimento do parasita sob a pele. Esta doença também pode se manifestar inicialmente com febre, letargia, dor abdominal, vômitos ou diarreia e pode infectar outras partes do corpo (pulmões, bexiga, olhos, orelhas, sistema nervoso). A transmissão ocorre comumente por ingestão de peixes de água doces, enguias, sapos, pássaros ou répteis contaminados mal cozidos, ou ingestão de água contaminada. A confirmação é comumente feita por detecção de anticorpos contra Gnathostoma, identificação de lesões cutâneas migratórias, eosinofilia e histórico de exposição potencial. | |||
