ABSTRACT
Trichinosis is a worldwide parasitic infection developed after the ingestion of uncooked meat containing viable larvae of the nematode Trichinella spiralis. Fever, myalgia, periorbital edema and eosinophilia are characteristic features and most infections are mild and asymptomatic, but a few cases have a severe clinical course due to cardiac or cerebral complications. This parasitic infection is spread in nature among a large number of carnivorous animals, human being an incidental host. While the highest prevalence is in North America and Europe, some outbreaks of trichinosis have been reported in the areas of Southeast Asia, China and Japan recently, but it has not been reported in Korea yet. We experienced a case of trichinosis with typical clinical features and laboratory findings of trichinosis after eating a raw liver and blood of wild badger which was poached in Chi-ri mountain.
