Paryphostomum Sufrartyfex(Intestinal Fluke) Infection in Man
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infection with Paryphostomum sufrartyjex (synonyms : Artyfechinostomum surfrartyfex; Euparyphium malayanum; Eclmiostoma sujrartyfcx) is extremely rare in human beings and to our knowledge this is the first case recorded in South India. The first report of human infection with this worm was reported by Lane in 1915. Bhalerao, in 1931, recovered this fluke from a pig in Bengal and worked out its morphology. An ill-nourished and anaemic Hindu boy, aged 15, was admitted into the General Hospital, Madras, on 18th May, 1950, with a history of diarrhoea and an irregular temperature for two months. Clinical examination revealed no abnormalities.
