Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of trichinosis: literature review and description of the case of invasion
With the previously fairly wide prevalence of trichinosis, the disease has become less frequent in statistical reports in recent years. The aim of this work was to analyze the clinical and epidemiological features of trichinellosis in the Russian Federation at the present stage and to describe a case of trichinellosis registered in 2018 in the Yaroslavl region. Trichinosis is a natural focal disease, the main foci of which are formed among wild animals. A person is much less likely to be involved in the epidemic process. At the same time, the disease can occur with characteristic clinical manifestations (fever, eosinophilia, facial edema), and atypically. The article presents a case of an atypical erased course of the disease, which at the initial treatment did not allow to suspect the presence of parasitosis. In this regard, an important role in the diagnosis of trichinosis, in addition to traditional laboratory studies, acquires an epidemiological history.
