Trichinosis is a worldwide disease contained by good husbandry and culinary practice, presenting unexpectedly in individual cases or mini-epidemics. The disease varies greatly in its manifestation and severity although when marked can be recognized by fever with myositis and periorbital oedema. Antibody tests are specific but the appearance on computed tomography of the brain are sufficiently characteristic to allow a confident diagnosis. Two cases where such appearances led to the diagnosis are reported.
旋毛虫病是一种通过良好的饲养和烹饪习惯可控制的全球性疾病,个别病例或小规模流行中会意外出现。该病的表现和严重程度差异很大,尽管症状明显时可通过发热伴肌炎和眶周水肿来识别。抗体检测具有特异性,但脑部计算机断层扫描的表现具有足够的特征性,能够做出可靠的诊断。本文报告了两例基于此类表现而确诊的病例。
