Pig Bel is a form of acute, segmental, necrotizing enteritis presenting as a common and life-threatening disease among the people (particularly the children) of the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. It relates to the consumption of pig meat and is thought to be caused by Clostridium welchii type C (an organism not usually present in the human intestine), the organism being transmitted to man by means of contaminated pig meat. Pig Bel resembles the diseases called "Darmbrand" which occurred in Northern Germany in the years that immediately followed World War II. Darmbrand was associated with a Clostridium welchii infection, possibly precipitated by malnutrition. It disappeared within a few years of its recognition. Conditions that closely resemble the clinical and pathological features of Pig Bel have been reported from Uganda and Thailand. In these countries, only a few cases have been encountered and they have not been associated with the eating of pig meat or with a clostridial infection.
猪瘟是一种急性、节段性、坏死性肠炎，在巴布亚新几内亚高地的人群（尤其是儿童）中是一种常见且危及生命的疾病。它与食用猪肉有关，被认为是由C型韦氏梭菌（一种通常不存在于人类肠道中的微生物）引起的，这种微生物通过受污染的猪肉传播给人类。猪瘟类似于第二次世界大战刚结束几年在德国北部出现的“坏死性肠炎”。坏死性肠炎与韦氏梭菌感染有关，可能是由营养不良引发的。它在被确认后的几年内就消失了。乌干达和泰国报告了与猪瘟临床和病理特征极为相似的病症。在这些国家，仅发现了少数病例，且这些病例与食用猪肉或梭菌感染无关。
