		Anisakiasis is one of those conditions which is likely to give the parasitologist much intellectual pleasure but cause the patient's physician, radiologist and surgeon either dismay, chagrin or interest, depending on their respective philosophies!
		Synonyms Anisakiasis caused by Anisakis simplex: Herringworm disease.
		Anisakiasis is an infection acquired by eating raw, salted, pickled or poorly cooked fish containing the larval stage of the roundworm Anisakis simplex from the family Anisakidae of the order Ascaridida.

		They were evaluated as intestinal anisakiasis, and show that this disorder is common in the north, with the chronic granuloma and phlegmonous acute intestinal type especially common, since many of the marine organisms that act as paratenic hosts are caught in large volumes in that area.
		Extra-gastrointestinal anisakiasis cases are those where the ailment was diagnosed outside the gastric and intestinal canal, although recently there have been more discoveries of larvae penetrating into the abdominal cavity, with larvae being found just after perforation of the small intestine membrane, or in the abdominal cavity after penetration of the small intestine.
		As described in another section (with the pathology of the mild form of intestinal anisakiasis), this activation of the first infection may mistakenly be interpreted as the appearance of a wave-like phenomenon or a relapse change.

		Anisakiasis often presents as an acute abdomen; this limits the usefulness of serological testing in these cases because serologic tests are not typically positive at the onset of symptoms.
		Some investigators postulate that the symptoms of invasive anisakiasis are essentially a hypersensitivity reaction and that a prior asymptomatic infection must have occurred to sensitize the patient.

		Anisakiasis is a disease of the intestines caused by infection with a parasitic nematode (a type of worm).
		The diagnosis of anisakiasis is usually made by detecting the 2 cm long larvae in the G.I. tract during gastroscopic examination; it can also be found in surgically removed tissue.
		Most anisakiasis cases are reported in Japan, Western Europe (particularly Scandinavia), and the Pacific coast of Latin America where raw or undercooked seafood is eaten regularly.

	Anisakis simplex and related worms - New Jersey
		Anisakiasis is generally used when referring to the acute disease in humans.
		In North America, anisakiasis is most frequently diagnosed when the affected individual feels a tingling or tickling sensation in the throat and coughs up or manually extracts a nematode.
		Physical removal of the nematode(s) from the lesion is the only known method of reducing the pain and eliminating the cause (other than waiting for the worms to die).

		Anisakis larvae are 10-50 mm in length, white and normally tightly curled in a cyst in the guts and muscle of the fish.
		Anisakiasis in humans can be acquired by eating raw or partially cooked marine fish, and the use of marine 'trash fish' as food in aquaculture can facilitate the transfer of the parasite to freshwater species.
		Note: Anisakiasis is often misdiagnosed a stomach ulcers or appendicitis.

		Anisakiasis is common in Japan, where over 2,000 cases of parasitism are registered annually, constituting 95% of the world-wide total.
		In Spain, only eight cases of anisakiasis have been published: one case of gastric anisakiasis, four cases of intestinal (two in the ileum, one in the appendix and one in the upper colon), two of ectopic anisakiasis (larvae in the abdominal cavity associated with intestinal lesions) and one of gastric pseudoterranovosis (Arenal et al.
		The present case involves acute intestinal anisakiasis, which typically occurs within several days after ingestion of the larvae and may cause doctors to doubt the acute appendicitis, regional ileitis or obstruction of the small intestine.

		The authors report on eleven new human cases of anisakiasis occurring in Italy, and emphasize the importance of the infection in clinical medicine, histopathology and public health.
		Human anisakiasis must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of acute, abdominal synddromes in subjects who have ingested raw fish or squid a few hours to a few days before the onset of symptoms.
		The incidence of anisakiasis in Italy is probably higher than reported, as some cases might not be diagnosed and others might heal spontaneously.
