Human
capillariasis has not been reported from Liberia, and only isolated case reports have been published from sub-Saharan Africa (7-9).
It would later be classified
Capillariasis philippinensis (Acta Medica Philippina, 1967) and recognized as such by the Center of Tropical Diseases.
Hepatic
capillariasis was recorded in 7.0% of the rodents in Lahore city.
Capillariasis, candidiasis, hypovitaminosis A and bacterial abscesses may also cause oral lesions, similar to those of trichomonad infections, especially in the early stages (Deem 1999, Krone et al.
Capillaria philippinensis causes human intestinal
capillariasis [1].
These conspicuous mouth markings should not be mistaken for lesions, such as those seen with oral trichomoniasis, candidiasis, bacterial stomatitis, viral infection (poxvirus, herpesvirus), oral
capillariasis or other nematodes, or squamous metaplasia caused by vitamin A deficiency.
Hepatic
capillariasis in children: report of 3 cases in Brazil.
Anisakis simplex Anisakiasis; herring Abdominal pain, and Pseudoterranoa worm disease nausea, and vomiting; decipiens may lead to gastric ulceration and intestinal perforation; pruritus and urticartia; may be self-limiting Capillaria hepatica; Hepatic
capillariasis Light infections are renamed Calodium asymptomatic; heavy hepatica infections cause acute liver disease (death possible in children).
To the Editor:
Capillariasis is caused by the foodborne nematode Capillaria philippinensis.
Capillaria philippinensis causes human intestinal
capillariasis. However, the lack of information on most helminths parasitizing lizards in Africa prevent us to better understand the relationship between these parasites and their hosts in Africa and also, possible hosts that can harbor species that potentially can infect man.The report of this study reveals different helminths parasitizing A.
The chapter on intestinal
capillariasis by Cross and Belizario is particularly noteworthy.
