Many new parasitic infections have emerged in Korea, with >35 new species appearing since the 1980s. Among them, Capillaria species are unique for contributing to morbidity in many countries as well as in Korea. Since the first reported case of a 41-year-old male patient diagnosed with intestinal capillariasis in 1991, a total of six cases have been reported thus far. In this case report, we present another imported case of intestinal capillariasis in Korea, in which a 42-year-old male patient presented with intractable diarrhea and weight loss. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy of the ileum. The pathognomonic radiographic presentation of a ribbon-like appearance in a small bowel series was crucial in raising an early suspicion of capillariasis and in deciding to perform diagnostic biopsy.
韩国出现了许多新的寄生虫感染病例，自20世纪80年代以来已出现35种以上新物种。其中，毛细线虫属物种在许多国家以及韩国导致发病，颇为独特。自1991年首次报告一例41岁男性患者被诊断为肠道毛细线虫病以来，迄今为止共报告了6例。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了韩国另一例输入性肠道毛细线虫病病例，一名42岁男性患者出现顽固性腹泻和体重减轻。通过回肠活检确诊。小肠造影中呈带状外观的特征性影像学表现对于早期怀疑毛细线虫病并决定进行诊断性活检至关重要。
