Capillaria philippinensis was first reported in 1963 in the Philippines. Major outbreaks have occurred in the Philippines and Thailand. This article reviews the known 30 intestinal capillariasis cases in Taiwan from January 1983 to December 2003. The infected cases were diagnosed each year with the exception of 1984 and 2002, making Taiwan a Capillaria-prevalent area. Two Taiwanese aboriginal tribes, the Ami and Paiwan, presented a high prevalence. The males and elderly also had a high infection rate. Nine cases were diagnosed by histopathological biopsied specimens. About half of the 30 cases denied having consumed raw or undercooked fish. All cases recovered to health after receiving medication, with no deaths or recurrences.
菲律宾毛细线虫于1963年首次在菲律宾被报道。主要疫情发生在菲律宾和泰国。本文回顾了1983年1月至2003年12月台湾已知的30例肠道毛细线虫病病例。除1984年和2002年外,每年都有感染病例被诊断出来,这使台湾成为一个毛细线虫流行地区。两个台湾原住民部落,阿美族和排湾族,呈现出高患病率。男性和老年人的感染率也很高。9例通过组织病理学活检标本确诊。30例病例中约有一半否认食用过生鱼或未煮熟的鱼。所有病例在接受药物治疗后均康复,无死亡或复发情况。
