Weibo netizen @ Zheng yinoer published Weibo the night before yesterday, saying that when he went to Dali for a trip in February, he ate 'stir fried snails with soy sauce' (on the menu, it was snails). After three or four days, he began to have headaches and nausea, similar to the symptoms of cold. His temperature was not high. Later, he could not walk because of leg pain. The examination results showed that he had bacterial infection. Later, he had severe headache, accompanied by fever, vomiting and other symptoms. The examination showed that it was cranium Internal infection, during which the fetus miscarried.

In June this year, she went to Beijing Friendship Hospital for treatment, and finally found that the exact cause was eating unprocessed snails and infecting Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Feng manling, deputy chief physician of Beijing Friendship Hospital and Beijing Institute of Tropical Medicine, received the patient and confirmed that the patient was infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis. After treatment, the patient has now been discharged from the hospital.

Answering question

Parasite infection caused by blind pursuit of fresh food

A Sichuan restaurant in Beijing launched "cold mixed snails" 10 years ago, after which cases of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection have been reported. At the peak of Beijing Friendship Hospital, more than 50 patients were treated in the hospital at the same time, and more than 100 cases were finally confirmed. Not all snails carry parasites, Feng said, and whether they are infected depends on whether the snails themselves are infected.

Stir fried snails are usually processed in a short time and belong to the "half cooked" processing mode, which is not conducive to killing parasites; stewed and boiled snails for a long time are relatively safe, but because the meat is too old and tastes bad, consumers often don't like it; cold mixed snails are more risky and unsafe for raw food.

Zou Yang, deputy chief physician of Beijing Friendship Hospital and Beijing Institute of Tropical Medicine, said that in recent years, unhealthy eating behaviors have increased the incidence of food borne diseases caused by parasites. Beijing Friendship Hospital is the only surveillance site for foodborne parasitic diseases in Beijing CDC. This year, the focus of surveillance in Beijing Friendship Hospital is the infection of heteronema.

Most of them are found in sashimi, and 60% to 70% of deep-sea fish can carry them. In order to prevent people from infecting anisoderma after eating raw fish pieces, these fish must be frozen at low temperature, and the larvae of anisoderma can be killed only after being frozen professionally. However, in order to eat fresh raw fish pieces, some people immediately eat the fish without being frozen professionally, which is very easy to infect anisoderma.
