107 nematodes limited to the intestinal tract enterobius vermicularis trichuris trichiura Capillaria philippinensis and trichostrongylus spp
Hunter's Tropical Medicine and Emerging Infectious Disease (Ninth Edition), 2013Co-Authors: Donald Bundy, Laura J Appleby, Simon J BrookerAbstract:Abstract The intestinal nematodes Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Capillaria philippinensis, and Trichostrongylus spp. are endemic worldwide, although the true prevalence is not known, as many infections are undiagnosed and some are difficult to diagnose. T. trichiura is estimated to infect as many as 500 million people worldwide. Each of these nematodes has distinctive life cycles, varying degrees of pathology, and different epidemiologic features. However, they all infect the gut as larvae and adults, producing eggs that are excreted in the stool. Most of the intestinal nematodes are susceptible to anti-helminthic drugs, with trichuriasis requiring additional rounds of treatment for maximum efficacy. Prevention is through handwashing, sanitary disposal of human excreta, prevention of fecal contamination of topsoil, and improved food hygiene.

Capillaria philippinensis in upper egypt has it become endemic
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2012Co-Authors: Rasha Attia, Mohammed E M Tolba, Doaa A Yones, Hanaa Y Bakir, Hanan E M Eldeek, Shereef KamelAbstract:has recently redescribed the adults and eggs of this parasite and has renamed it ParaCapillaria philippinensis to replace the longstanding and well-known name C. philippinensis . The classification of this nematode species in this new genus and subgenus was because of recent taxonomic advances. This study aimed to provide a more detailed view of the rapidly emerging human infections with C. philippinensis in the Assiut Governorate and in Upper Egypt. A detailed description of the different stages detected during the course of the disease may make it easier for laboratory technicians and doctors to identify the parasite and to compare the morphometric data on C. philippinensis in Upper Egypt with other data collected in different countries to identify any adaptive changes in the parasite.

serious diarrhea with weight loss caused by Capillaria philippinensis acquired in china a case report
BMC Research Notes, 2012Co-Authors: Yongdong Huang, Shiyun Qian, Gang Lv, Yiyao Chen, Bo Yang, Saifeng ZhongAbstract:Diarrhea caused by Capillaria philippinensis (C. philippinensis) has not been reported in any areas with the exception of Taiwan province in China. We herein report the misdiagnosis and subsequent management of a patient with diarrhea caused by C. philippinensis. A 33-year-old woman from the outskirts of Danzhou city, Hainan province, China, had an 11-month history of chronic diarrhea with abdominal pain, edema, hypoalbuminemia, and severe weight loss. The patient was misdiagnosed at an outpatient clinic and one hospital. She was finally correctly diagnosed with C. philippinensis by stool examination. The patient was given a 30-days course of albendazole (400 mg/day) and had an uneventful and stable recovery. Doctors cannot lose sight of patients’ dietary histories, must query stool examination results, and need to expand their knowledge of certain nonlocal and global diseases, especially those described in new case reports. Some diagnostic examinations must be performed repeatedly. Hainan province may be the epidemic focus of C. philippinensis.
