Anisakiasis - what does this mean
Anisakiasis is an infection caused by the ingestion of larvae of the anisakis worms, which is usually found in contaminated fish and seafood. it is caused by the larvae of the anisakis species of worms, which can be found in the digestive tract of many marine animals, and can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of undercooked or raw fish and seafood.
What happens during the disease - anisakiasis
Anisakiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the ingestion of larvae of the anisakis species of worms. the larvae attach to the mucosal lining of the stomach or intestine and cause inflammation, pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. if left untreated, the larvae can cause a blockage of the digestive tract, leading to abdominal pain, intestinal perforation, and potentially life-threatening complications.
Clinical Pattern
Anisakiasis is an infection caused by the parasitic nematode Anisakis, which is commonly found in raw or undercooked fish and seafood. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In some cases, there may be an allergic reaction, which can cause hives, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If the parasite migrates to other organs, it can cause fever, chest pain, and other symptoms. Diagnosis is usually made through imaging tests and endoscopy. Treatment is typically with anti-parasitic medications.
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Endoscopy
- Imaging studies such as X-ray or CT scan
- Serology tests
- Stool examination
- Gastric lavage
- Biopsy

13 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Anisakiasis - Prevention
Anisakiasis can be prevented by avoiding raw or undercooked seafood, particularly fish, squid, and octopus, as well as by avoiding contact with the intestinal contents of fish or other seafood. properly freezing or cooking seafood will kill any larvae present and make it safe to consume.
