A husband and wife became unwell after eating a fish from the Calder River in northern Western Australia. Gnathostomiasis was diagnosed, and treated with ivermectin and albendazole. Serological testing was positive for gnathostomiasis, and there has been no recurrence. These appear to be the first proven endemically acquired cases of gnathostomiasis in Australia, and demonstrate the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.
一对夫妇在食用了来自澳大利亚西北部卡尔德河的鱼后身体不适。经诊断为颚口线虫病，并使用伊维菌素和阿苯达唑进行治疗。血清学检测结果显示颚口线虫病呈阳性，且未再复发。这些病例似乎是澳大利亚首例经证实的地方性颚口线虫病病例，表明了诊断和治疗的困难。
