Background: Nematodes of Trichostrongylus genus are mainly parasites of herbivores, although human infections in sporadic form have been reported worldwide. Herein we reported an outbreak of trichostrongyliasis in Qaemshar city in Mazandaran province, north of Iran from May to June ۲۰۲۰.
Methods: The investigation was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional study on an outbreak occurred in Qaemshahr city in the north of Iran. The diagnosis of trichostrongyliasis cases was confirmed by hypereosinophilia and existence of Trichostrongylus eggs in the stool.
Results: Trichostrongyliasis diagnosed in twelve patients. The age range of patients was ۱۰-۷۸ years old. ۸۳.۵% of the patients were female and ۷۵% of them lived in the rural area. The most common signs and symptoms of patients were abdominal pain ۹۱.۶%, diarrhea ۸۳.۳%, vomiting ۴۱.۶%, nausea ۵۰%, anemia ۸.۳% and chill ۱۶.۶% respectively. These patients undertook a course of treatment consisting of antihelminth drug for adult and albendazole for children. Symptoms of trichostrongyliasis improved completely after therapy.
Conclusions: Our study indicated that trichostrongyliasis may be a major parasitic aetiology for gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain among rural residents in endemic areas with outbreak presentations.
