Limited data exist on human Macracanthorhynchus infections. We report an asymptomatic 17-month-old who passed eggs and an adult Macracanthorhynchus ingens worm, indicating parasite maturation and reproduction. Macracanthorhynchus ingens may have a greater capacity to mature in humans versus Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus.
关于人体感染巨吻棘头虫的数据有限。我们报告了一名17个月大的无症状儿童，其排出了虫卵和一条成年大棘吻巨吻棘头虫，表明寄生虫已成熟并繁殖。与蛭形巨吻棘头虫相比，大棘吻巨吻棘头虫在人体中成熟的能力可能更强。
