Anisakiasis is a parasitic infection of the gastrointestinal tract by larval nematodes of the family Anisakidae, including genera Anisakis, Phocanema, Contracaecum, Terranova. The infection is acquired by ingestion of uncooked fish (for example, sushi) containing Anisakidae larvae (see the diagram). The larvae may invade the stomach wall, causing ulceration with nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and hematemesis (vomiting of blood). They may migrate upward to the throat and cause a cough. They may proliferate in the small intestine and cause eosinophilic abscesses, with the symptoms mimicking appendicitis. Occasionally, colonies of the worm may perforate the bowel and cause peritonitis.
Here are the steps to take to prevent this serious infection.
