- Abstract
- Human subjects can be incidentally parasitized by third stage larvae of Anisakis spp. by eating
raw or undercooked seafood. Acute gastric anisakiasis is one of the most frequently encountered
entities in Korea. Anisakis-related allergic disorder, gastroallergic anisakiasis, has been recently
documented. However, it has not been studied in Korea, in spite of the raw fish eating habit.
A 33-year-old woman had suffered from stomachache, nausea and vomiting repeatedly after a few
hours of eating raw fish. Gastroscopic examination showed normal. Sensitization to Anisakis was
demonstrated by skin prick test using crude extracts and excretory-secretory products from the
parasites, whereas no sensitization to seafood. Specific IgE in patient's serum and its binding
components against Anisakis were detected.
We report a case of gastroallergic anisakiasis, diagnosed by repeated typical episode, skin prick test,
identification of specific IgE and its binding components in Anisakis.(Korean J Med 70:111-116, 2006)
