    Summary

    Consumption of contaminated pork led to 21 trichinellosis cases. Diagnosis involved clinical signs, eosinophilia, and parasite detection, with complications noted in treated patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Presents a case series of human trichinellosis following pork consumption.
    • Highlights the clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges of Trichinella spiralis infection.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of trichinellosis.
    • To report on complications associated with treatment, including corticotherapy.

    Summary:

    • A total of 21 cases of trichinellosis were identified, including 15 clinical and 6 subclinical infections.
    • Key diagnostic findings included polymorphous clinical presentation, significant eosinophilia (up to 50%), elevated transaminases, and positive parasitic identification.
    • One case involved a pregnant woman, with the placenta showing encapsulated parasites; the pregnancy and delivery were normal.
