Acase of urinary gnathostomiasis in a 32-year-old Thai woman, caused by an adult male Gnathostoma spinigerum, is described. The patient who had suffered from intermittent, subcutaneous gnathostomialis for about 10 years, developed pneumonia of the right lower lung followed by swelling on the right hypochondrium, and paresis of both legs accompanied by perianal numbness and retention of urine, and it seems reasonable to assume that the parasite migrated to the lung, hypochondrium, and the cauda equina, respectively. She later passed the worm, which we beleive problably came from the bladder. To the best of our knowledge, no case of human urinary gnathostomiasis has previously been reported in the English literature.
本文描述了一名32岁泰国女性的泌尿颚口线虫病病例，该病由成年雄性棘颚口线虫引起。该患者间歇性皮下颚口线虫病约10年，继而出现右下肺肺炎，随后右季肋部肿胀，双腿轻瘫，伴有肛周麻木和尿潴留，推测寄生虫分别迁移至肺、季肋部和马尾。她后来排出了蠕虫，我们认为该蠕虫可能来自膀胱。据我们所知，此前英文文献中尚未报道过人类泌尿颚口线虫病病例。
