The prevalence of human skeletal muscle sarcocystosis in Malaysia was determined by serial examination of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of tongue tissues obtained from consecutive, routine autopsies of subjects aged 12 years or more. Of 100 tongues examined, 21% were found to contain Sarcocystis; 66 cysts were found. The number of cysts per case varied from 1 to 13. In one case, 5 cysts were found in a single tissue section. The age range of positive cases was from 16 to 57 years (mean 37.7 years). Prevalence did not differ with regard to race, sex or occupation. The prevalence of human muscular sarcocystosis in our study was higher than that reported elsewhere. Preferential localization of Sarcocystis in tongue or head and neck and/or genuinely high prevalence in south-east Asia are possible explanations for this observation.
通过对12岁及以上受试者连续常规尸检获得的舌组织福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋切片进行系列检查，确定了马来西亚人类骨骼肌肉孢子虫病的患病率。在检查的100个舌头中，发现21%含有肉孢子虫；共发现66个囊肿。每个病例的囊肿数量从1个到13个不等。在一个病例中，在单个组织切片中发现了5个囊肿。阳性病例的年龄范围为16至57岁（平均37.7岁）。患病率在种族、性别或职业方面没有差异。我们研究中人类肌肉肉孢子虫病的患病率高于其他地方报道的患病率。肉孢子虫在舌头或头颈部的优先定位和/或东南亚地区真正的高患病率可能是这一观察结果的解释。
