Overview

Trichinosis initially involves the intestines. Symptoms include nausea, heartburn, dyspepsia, and diarrhea. The severity of symptoms depends on the number of worms ingested. As the worms encyst in different parts of the human body, other manifestations may occur, such as headache, fever, chills, cough, eye swelling, joint pain and muscle pain, and itching. A positive history of gastroenteritis symptoms, muscle pain and fever and recent ingestion of undercooked meat such as pork, wild boar or bear is suggestive of trichinosis.^[1]^[2]^[3]

History

Trichinosis is mainly caused by eating undercooked meat such as pork wild boar and bear, containing encysted larval Trichinella.

Symptoms

Common symptoms are:^[1]^[2]^[3]

Enteral/Intestinal phase:

Parenteral/Muscle phase:

Muscle pain
Fever
Weakness
Swelling of the face, particularly the eyes
Headache
Chills
Itchy skin or rash
Cough

-'''Trichinosis''', also called '''trichinellosis''', or '''trichiniasis''', is a [[parasitic disease]] caused by eating raw or undercooked pork and wild game products infected with the [[larva]]e of a species of [[roundworm]] ''[[Trichinella spiralis]]'', commonly called the trichina worm. The few cases in the United States are mostly the result of eating undercooked game or home reared pigs. It is most common in the developing world and where pigs are commonly fed raw garbage.

-==History and symptoms==
+Trichinosis is mainly caused by eating undercooked meat such as pork wild boar and bear, containing encysted larval [[Trichinella|''Trichinella'']].
-Trichinosis initially involves the intestines. Within 1-2 days of contagion, manifestations such as [[nausea]], [[heartburn]], [[dyspepsia]], and [[diarrhea]]; the severity of symptoms depends on the number of worms ingested. Later on, as the worms encyst in different parts of the human body, other manifestations may occur, such as [[headache]], [[fever]], [[chills]], [[cough]], [[List of systemic diseases with ocular manifestations|eye swelling]], [[arthralgia|joint pain]] and [[myalgia|muscle pain]], [[petechiae]], and [[pruritus|itching]].
-Most symptoms subside within a few months. The most dangerous case is worms entering the [[central nervous system]]. They cannot survive there, but they may cause enough damage to produce serious neurological deficits (such as [[ataxia]] or respiratory paralysis), and even [[death]]. Infestation of the [[heart]] may also lead to death.
