我们发现人类感染了犬虫,毛癣菌,患有鼻炎的儿童被诊断为鼻炎。T.vulpis卵类似于T.trichiura的卵,但可以根据其形态特征和卵大小进行区分,用测微计测微仪测微仪.T.vulpis卵平均测量为90µmx44µm(范围为86-99µmx38-47µm)。钩虫患病率(28.1%),犬弓形虫(11.8%),在居住地收集的292只狗的粪便样本中发现了毛虫(3.5%),这表明感染的风险不仅是偶然的。犬鞭虫感染的治疗与Trichuura感染相似。我们建议区分2种物种,以了解其流行病学和预防意义。
We present a human infection with the canine whipworm, Trichuris vulpis, in a child suffering from rhinitis with a diagnosis of rhinitis. T. vulpis eggs resemble those of T. trichiura but they can be differentiated based on their morphological features and egg size, using micrometry with an ocular micrometer. T. vulpis eggs measured an average of 90 µm by 44 µm (range 86-99 µm by 38-47 µm). Prevalence of hookworms (28.1%), Toxocara canis (11.8%), and Trichuris vulpis (3.5%) was found in 292 fecal samples of dogs collected at the peri-domicile, which showed that the risk of infection was not only fortuitous. The treatment of canine whipworm infections is similar to that of T. trichiura infection. We recommend differentiation of the 2 species for their epidemiological and prevention implications.
