In 1991, we observed a Korean man infected by Capillaria philippinensis who had no history of traveling in known endemic areas. He had year-long diarrhea with severe loss of body weight. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and eating raw meat of game animals and fish. An open full-thickness biopsy of the ileum showed flat mucosal surface and sections of the round worm, and fecal examination revealed numerous elliptical helminth eggs. The worms and eggs were consistent with features of C. philippinensis. He was treated with albendazole and was cured. This is the first known case of intestinal capillariasis in the Republic of Korea.
1991年，我们观察到一名感染菲律宾毛细线虫的韩国男子，他没有在已知流行地区旅行的历史。他长期腹泻，体重严重减轻。他喜欢打猎、钓鱼并食用野生动物和鱼类的生肉。回肠全层开放性活检显示黏膜表面平坦，有圆形蠕虫切片，粪便检查发现大量椭圆形蠕虫卵。这些蠕虫和虫卵与菲律宾毛细线虫的特征相符。他接受了阿苯达唑治疗并痊愈。这是韩国已知的首例肠道毛细线虫病病例。
