To analyze the clinical and endoscopic features of colonic anisakiasis. A retrospective chart review of 20 patients with colonic anisakiasis, who were diagnosed by colonoscopy at 8 hospitals between January 2002 and December 2011, was performed. Patients' mean age was $53.6{\pm}10.74years$. Seventy percent patients were men. Acute abdominal pain was a common symptom that mostly developed within 48 hr after the ingestion of raw fish, and which lasted for 1-28 days. Sixty percent patients had ingested raw fish before the diagnosis of colonic anisakiasis and 40% patients were incidentally found to have colonic anisakiasis during the screening colonoscopies. Leukocytosis and eosinophilia were each found in 20% of the patients. In all patients who underwent colonoscopy, the worms were removed with biopsy forceps, except in 1 case, and a definite diagnosis of anisakiasis was made. In some cases of colonic anisakiasis, colonoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment to avoid surgical intervention.

The present study was performed to report 15 anisakiasis cases in Korea and to review the Korean cases reported in the literature. Total 32 Anisakis type I larvae were detected in the stomach of 15 patients by the endoscopy. Single worm was detected from 12 cases, and even 9 larvae were found from 2 cases. Epigastric pain was most commonly manifested in almost all cases, and hemoptysis and hematemesis were seen in 1 case each. Symptom manifestations began at 10-12 hr after eating fish in 73.3% cases. Endoscopy was performed 1-2 days after the symptom onset in most cases. The common conger, Conger myriaster, was the probable infection source in 7 cases. In the review of Korean anisakiasis cases, thus far, total 645 cases have been reported in 64 articles. Anisakis type I larva was the most frequently detected (81.3%). The favorable infection site of larvae was the stomach (82.4%). The common conger was the most probable source of human infections (38.6%). Among the total 404 cases which revealed the age and sex of patients, 185 (45.8%) were males, and the remaining 219 (54.2%) were female patients. The age prevalence was the highest in forties (34.7%). The seasonal prevalence was highest in winter (38.8%). By the present study, 15 cases of gastric anisakiasis are added as Korean cases, and some epidemiological characteristics of Korean anisakiasis were clarified.

Anisakis is a parasite with life cycles involving fish and marine mammals. Human infection, anisakiasis, occurs with the ingestion of raw infected seafood and usually presents with acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms from esophageal or gastric invasion. We report a rare caseinvolving the oral cavity. A 39-year-old male presented with oral and sub-sternal pain of one day duration after eating raw cuttlefish. Physical examination revealed areas of erythema and edema with a central white foreign particle on the labial and buccal mucosa. With microscopic field we could remove the foreign material from the lesions. The foreign material was confirmed to be Anisakis. Anisakis was also removed from the esophagus by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The patient was discharged the following day without complication. Anisakiasis is frequently reported in Korea and Japan, countries where raw seafood ingestion is popular. The symptoms of acute anisakiasis include pain, nausea, and vomiting and usually begin 2-12 hours after ingestion. The differential diagnosis includes food poisoning, acute gastritis, and acute pancreatitis. A history of raw seafood ingestion is important to the diagnosis of anisakiasis. Treatment is complete removal of the Anisakis to relieve acute symptoms and prevent chronic granulomatous inflammation.

Acute gastric anisakiasis with multiple anisakid larvae infection is reported. A 68-year-old woman residing in Busan, Korea, had epigastric pain with severe vomiting about 5 hours after eating raw anchovies. Four nematode larvae penetrating the gastric mucosae in the great curvature of the middle body and fundus were found and removed during gasteroendoscopic examination. Another one thread-like moving larva was found in the great curvature of upper body on the following day. On the basis of their morphology, the worms were identified as the 3rd stage larvae of Anisakis simplex. This case is acute gastric anisakiasis provoking severe clinical problems by the multiple infection and the greatest number of anisakid larvae found in a patient in Korea.

서울에 거주하는 상사 직원인 31세 남자가 이틀전부터 시작된 갑작스런 하복부 복통으로 입원하였다. 단순복부촬영상 기계적인 장폐색 소견을 보여 실험적 개복술을 실시한 바 공장부위의 장막에 봉와직염이 있었고 출혈점 부위에서 길이 1 cm인 선충을 발견하였다. 이 충체 절단면의 Y-자 모양 측선의 특징을 기초로 Anisakis 유충으로 동정하였다. 우리나라의 아니사키스중 보고례에 대하여 간단히 요약하고 이 질환이 장폐색증의 감별진단의 대상이 되어야 함을 강조하였다.

폐흡충증, 스팔가눔증, 낭미충증, 아니사키스증, 개회충증 및 간흡충증의 혈청역학적 조사를 ELISA(Enzvme-linked immunosorbent assav)를 이용하여 시행하고 그 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 총 6,074명에 대한 검사결과 19.7% 에서 한 종류 이상의 혈청항체 양성을 나타내었다. 이중 아니사키스증은 8.1 %, 개회충증은 5.6%, 간흡충증은 3.6 %, 폐흡충증은 1.7%, 낭미충증은 4.5%, 스팔가눔증은 2.6%의 혈청항체 양성률을 나타내었다. 부산지역은 총 450예를 검사하여 아니사키스가 2.9%, 간흡충이 2.8%의 항체양성률을 보였고, 대전지역에서는 675명중 개회충이 6.7%, 아니사키스가 3.7% 로 비교적 높은 양성률을 나타내었다. 춘천군에서는 875명중 아니사키스증의 혈청항체가 3.4%에서 양성을 보였고 동해시지역에서는 675명 중 아니사키스가 16.9%로 나타났다. 전남 남부지역의 1,122명은 전반적으로 높은 혈청항체 양성률을 보였는데 아니사키스가 16.9%, 낭미충증항체가 12.7 %에서 양성이었고 폐흡충은 3.3%가 양성이었다. 전북일부지역 702명에 대한 조사에서는 낭미충증 항체가 9.3%에서 양성이었고 아니사키스도 4.3% 의 양성률을 나타내었다. 한편 경북 일부지역 900명에 대한 조사에서는 아니사키스와 개회충 항체가 10.6%, 16.1 %로 나타나 높은 양성률을 보였고, 제주지역에서 675명을 조사하여 아니사키스에 대한 혈청항체가 6.7% 로 비교적 높게 나타났다. 이상의 성적은 물론 윤충류 상호간의 교차반응등 보다 확실한 검정이 필요하겠으나 우리나라 사람 있어서 몇몇 윤충류 질환에 대한 혈청항체 양성률을 조사한 자료로서 앞으로의 혈청역학적 조사에 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Anisakiasis is a parasitic disease caused by ingestion of raw fish infected with anisakid larvae. Endoscopic changing patterns of submucosal lesions in chronic gastric anisakiasis have not been known yet. Here we report 4 cases of suspected gastric anisakiasis which were improved during follow-up periods without surgical treatment. The patients presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting after consuming raw marine fish, and visited our gastroenterology outpatient department. Their endoscopic findings showed firm and yellowish submucosal masses accompanied with eccentric erosions. Histologic findings showed severe eosinophilic infiltrations. In blood tests, peripheral eosinophil counts and total IgE levels were elevated. We believed that all cases were caused by larval anisakid infections. The submucosal mass lesions disappeared during the follow-up periods of 2 to 4 mo.

고래흰충유충증은 바다 포유동물에 기생하는 고래회충과(과)의 유충이 인체의 소화관 특히 위(위)와 소장에 침입하여 발생되는 질병으로 범세계적으로 보고되고 있다. 급성복통을 호소하는 환자를 대상으로 바닷고기 생식여부를 조사하고 위내시경을 관찰하여 위점막내로 뚫고 들어가는 고래회충과 유충을 적출하여 동정함으로써 진단하였다. 1989년 6월부터 3년간 남자 60명 여자 47명의 고래회충유충증 환자를 찾아내었다. 주요 증상은 상복부통, 급성복통. 구토 등이었고. 바닷 고기를 생식하고 4시간 내지 1일 이내에 증상이 생겼고. 대부분 1-3일 후 유충을 제거하였다. 위 내시경 관찰을 하였더니 유충들은 위의 몸체에서 제일 많이 발견되었고 유충이 침입한 위점막으로 부터 출혈. 부종. 미란 등이 관찰되었다. 적출된 유충 90마리 중 82마리가 고래회충(Anisakis simplex)의 유충이었다. 문진을 통해 확인된 환자가 생식한 어종으로는 조기. 바닷장어. 히라스, 오징어가 많았다. 농수산물센타에서 임의로 구입한 5가지 바닷고기에서 고래회충과 유충을 조사하였더니 고등어와 우럭에서 검출되었고. 내장 및 복부 근육에서 고래회충(Anisokissi simplex)과 물개 회충(Pseudotewqnova deipiens)의 유충 등이 검출되었다.
