Neuroangiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by the accidental ingestion of the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis in its larval form. Human infection can lead to eosinophilic meningitis, sometimes complicated by life-threatening radiculomyelitis or encephalitis. Although some cases have been reported from other Caribbean Islands, no cases have been diagnosed in Martinique so far. Here, we report the first eight laboratory-confirmed cases of neuroangiostrongyliasis on the island of Martinique, French West Indies, between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2017. One case was fatal and five resulted in neurological sequelae. The medical community should consider the risk of A. cantonensis infection in patients living in or returning from Martinique.
神经血管圆线虫病是一种寄生虫病，由误食幼虫期的广州血管圆线虫引起。人类感染可导致嗜酸性脑膜炎，有时并发危及生命的神经根脊髓炎或脑炎。尽管在其他加勒比岛屿已有一些病例报告，但在马提尼克岛尚未确诊病例。在此，我们报告了在 2002 年 1 月 1 日至 2017 年 12 月 31 日期间，法属西印度群岛马提尼克岛上首例经实验室确诊的 8 例神经血管圆线虫病病例。其中 1 例死亡，5 例留有神经后遗症。医疗界应考虑到居住在马提尼克岛或从马提尼克岛返回的患者感染广州血管圆线虫的风险。
