Abstract

We present a case in a male patient from Indonesia of nasal leech infestation by Dinobdella ferox that had gone unnoticed for at least three months. The possibility of leech endoparasitism should not be overlooked in people presenting with epistaxis or hemoptysis and a history of recent contact with fresh water lakes or streams in tropical regions.

摘要

我们报告一例来自印度尼西亚的男性患者，其感染了凶猛鼻蛭，且至少三个月未被察觉。对于出现鼻出血或咯血且近期有热带地区淡水湖泊或溪流接触史的人群，不应忽视水蛭体内寄生的可能性。
