Abstract

QUINONES-SILVA, Jhonatan et al. Anisakiasis as differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain at the emergency department. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2019, vol.39, n.2, pp.171-174. ISSN 1022-5129.

Anisakiasis is a zoonosis with an increasing prevalence, especially in European countries, caused by the ingestion of the nematode of the genre Anisakis in its third larvae stage after consuming undercooked or raw fish. It may produce gastrointestinal symptoms and hypersensitivity reactions to the proteins of the worm. We present a case of gastric anisakiasis accompanied by hypersensitivity symptoms (gastroallergic form) after the ingestion of raw fish.

Keywords : Anisakiasis; Zoonoses; Abdominal pain.
