Capillariaphilippinensis in Upper Egypt: Has It Become Endemic? The goal of this study was to present an overview of human infections with Capillariaphilippinensis, a new emerging parasite in Upper Egypt. The study included 21 inpatients who had been admitted to the Assiut University Hospital. Patients suffered from intermittent abdominal pain, borborygmi, chronic diarrhea lasting for several
into adults; or they may disseminate widely in the body. To date, occurrence of autoinfection in humans with helminthic infections is recognized only in Strongyloides stercoralis and Capillariaphilippinensis infections. S. stercoralis is much more common and widespread. In strongyloidiasis, autoinfection explains the existence of infections persisting in persons who have not been in an endemic area
High Prevalence of Intestinal Capillariasis in Chronic Diarrhea Patients in Thailand: Serological Screening Using a Rapid Lateral-Flow Immunochromatographic Assay. Intestinal capillariasis is an emerging fish-borne helminthic disease caused by the round worm Capillariaphilippinensis. Chronic infection may lead to death if the disease is misdiagnosed and inappropriate treatment is given. We used

. Most helminths have complex life cycles that involve substantial time outside their human hosts. A few, including Strongyloides stercoralis, Capillariaphilippinensis, and Hymenolepis nana, can increase in number because of autoinfection (offspring reinfect the same host rather than being shed to infect another host). In strongyloidiasis Strongyloidiasis Strongyloidiasis is infection
with bacteria, viruses or protozoa. It results from increased chloride secretion, decreased sodium absorption, or increased mucosal permeability . Parasitic pathogens induce Secretory diarrhea as they infect and damage the absorptive villus tips, leaving Secretory crypts unbalanced, to cause net secretion and diarrhea. Parasitic causes include Cryptosporidium parvum or hominis ,Capillariaphilippinensis
