Abstract

Nematodes of the genus Gongylonema infect a wide range of mammals worldwide but are only sporadically reported in humans. We describe a case of human infection with Gongylonema pulchrum in a 41-year-old man. The patient extracted the nematode from the submucosa under his tongue and correctly self-diagnosed the infection with the help of the Google search engine. In the laboratory, the collected nematode was confirmed as G. pulchrum microscopically by morphological analysis and genetically by amplifying and sequencing the parasite's rDNA. This is the first report of human G. pulchrum infection in Slovenia.

摘要

筒线虫属线虫感染全球范围内的多种哺乳动物，但在人类中仅有零星报道。我们描述了一名41岁男性感染美丽筒线虫的病例。患者从舌下黏膜下层取出该线虫，并借助谷歌搜索引擎正确地自行诊断了感染。在实验室中，通过形态学分析在显微镜下确认所收集的线虫为美丽筒线虫，并通过扩增和测序该寄生虫的核糖体DNA进行基因鉴定。这是斯洛文尼亚首例人类感染美丽筒线虫的报告。
