A 46-year-old Swiss woman presents with intermittent abdominal pain and persistent eosinophilia that is suggestive of helminthic etiology. Though her stay in Africa goes back > 35 years, an imported disease is a possibility. However, contact with a puppy suggests a locally acquired organism. Antibodies to filariae and Toxocara are demonstrated in the serum. Following treatment with albendazole 400 mg daily for 14 days the patient makes a full recovery, and the final diagnosis is active Toxocara canis infection.
一名46岁的瑞士女性出现间歇性腹痛和持续性嗜酸性粒细胞增多，提示有蠕虫病因。尽管她在非洲生活超过35年，但仍有可能是输入性疾病。然而，与一只小狗接触提示可能是 locally acquired organism。血清中检测到丝虫和弓蛔虫抗体。患者每天服用400毫克阿苯达唑，持续14天，之后完全康复，最终诊断为活动性犬弓蛔虫感染。 （注：locally acquired organism这里原文表述不太清晰准确，可能存在错误，但按要求翻译了）
