  • Title: Multiple acute parasitization by Anisakis simplex.
    Author: Jurado-Palomo J, López-Serrano MC, Moneo I.
    Journal: J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol; 2010; 20(5):437-41. PubMed ID: 20945613.
    Abstract:
    Hypersensitivity to Anisakis is an increasingly prominent medical problem throughout the world, due to a better understanding of diseases induced by parasites and to modern culinary habits of eating raw or undercooked fish. We describe the case of a patient who presented epigastric pain, wheals, erythema, and pruritus 3 hours after the ingestion of fish. More than 200 larvae were obtained by endoscopy. However, the patient only developed an immune response with specific immunoglobulin E and eosinophilia peaking at day 18 and decreasing during the 17-month follow-up. Only eosinophilia reached normal limits.
