摘要

简介:毛线虫属的线虫主要寄生于食草动物,尽管在包括伊朗、远东和澳大利亚在内的许多国家都有零星的人畜共患感染的记录。在突尼斯,已报告一例,使这种寄生虫感染相对不为人知。观察:一名3岁女性患者,先天性单肾,以厌食症、体重减轻和生长迟缓的症状出现在突尼斯Charles Nicolle医院儿科。血液学分析显示贫血伴嗜酸性细胞增多症。该患者来自卡塞林的农村地区,目前居住在突尼斯,曾接触禽类、家禽和绵羊。我们的寄生虫学和真菌学部门对粪便样本进行了寄生虫学检查,在3个样本中有2个样本检测到毛线虫卵。全面的家庭调查,包括详细的访谈和粪便寄生虫学,表明没有家族性接触毛线虫病危险因素,并且在父母的样本中没有发现寄生卵。结论:鉴于人类感染动物源性钩虫的罕见性或非典型性,弓形虫病可能被低估,而常见人类钩虫感染的流行率可能被高估。在流行地区加强环境和个人卫生以及避免食用生蔬菜是预防这种感染的关键措施。

Human infection by Trichostrongylus sp in Tunisia: Case report.

Introduction: Nematodes of the Trichostrongylus genus are primarily parasitic in herbivores, although sporadic zoonotic infections have been documented in various countries, including Iran, the Far East, and Australia. In Tunisia, one case has been reported, rendering this parasitic infection relatively unknown.

Observation: A 3-year-old female patient, congenitally monorenal, presented to the pediatric department at Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis with symptoms of anorexia, weight loss, and growth retardation. Hematological analysis revealed anemia concomitant with hypereosinophilia. The patient, originating from a rural region in Kasserin and currently residing in Tunis, had exposure to avian species, poultry, and sheep. Parasitological examination of stool samples, performed in our Parasitology and Mycology department, detected the presence of Trichostrongylus spp. eggs in two out of three specimens. A thorough family survey, including detailed interviews and stool parasitology, indicated no familial exposure to trichostrongylosis risk factors, and no parasitic eggs were found in the parents' samples.

Conclusion: Given the rarity or atypical nature of human infections with animal-derived hookworms, trichostrongylosis may be underrecognized, and the prevalence of common human hookworm infections might be overestimated. Enhancing environmental and personal hygiene and avoiding the consumption of raw vegetables in endemic regions are crucial preventive measures against this infection.
