“…Thus, the diseases with the greatest diversity of transmitting gastropod species in Asturias are Dicroceliosis, Echinostomiasis, Fasciolosis and Cercarial dermatitis. The most frequent trematodiasis in Spain is fasciolosis produced by Fasciola hepatica due to the intake of vegetables infected with metacercariae [154][155][156][157]. Most of the described cases are from the north coast of the Iberian Peninsula and generally affect adults [158].…”

“…Most of the described cases are from the north coast of the Iberian Peninsula and generally affect adults [158]. However, the causes are decreasing since the 1990s [157]. In addition, there is evidence of the presence of Fasciola gigantica in Spain, specifically in the vicinity of the Guadalquivir valley and in Ciudad Real, due to the importation of livestock from its endemic north African and Arabian regions [159].…”

Land and freshwater molluscs are the most abundant non-arthropod invertebrates from inland habitats worldwide, playing important ecological roles and some being important pests in agriculture. However, despite their ecological, and even economic and sanitary importance, their local diversity in many European regions is not perfectly understood, with a particularly notableknowledge gap in the northern Iberian malacofauna. This work aims at providing a revised checklist of continental gastropods and bivalves from the Asturias (northern Spain), based on the examination of newly collected and deposited material and on the critical analysis of published and gray literature. A total of 165 molluscan species are recognized. Ten species constitute new records from Asturias and seven from northern Iberian Peninsula. Seventeen species are introduced or invasive, evidencing the current increase of the bioinvasion rate in continental molluscs. Furthermore, all these exotic species are parasite transmitters or trematode intermediate hosts, and thus represent a potential bio-sanitary risk for human and other animal health. The provided data strongly suggest that the increase of invasive freshwater snail species can lead to an increase in parasitic infections, and this is a crucial point that transcends the merely scientific to the political-social sphere.

“…En cuanto a los hallazgos intraoperatorios, la masa quística se encontraba adherida a la pared, en los dos tercios distales del apéndice cecal; y no se encontró en el mesoapéndice [14,15] , en la punta [4] , o en la base [7] ; y tampoco se encontraron adheridos el epiplón, peritoneo y el apéndice [8] . Esta presentación extrínseca y la falta de una reacción inflamatoria en la anatomía patológica, explicaría porque en los exámenes laboratoriales no se evidenció eosinofilia, ya que el quiste se encontraba intacto, hasta después del procedimiento quirúrgico [17] .…”

Apendicitis aguda por hidatidosis apendicular: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

et al. 2020

La apendicitis aguda es considerada la causa más común de emergencia quirúrgica en adultos jóvenes; y su asociación con infecciones parasitarias es rara. De éstas, la localización apendicular del quiste hidatídico, es extremadamente rara; y hasta la fecha solo existen reportes en Irán, India, Túnez, Chile y Perú. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 52 años, natural de Puno, sin antecedentes patológicos, que ingresa con un cuadro clínico típico de apendicitis aguda, y que, al ser intervenido quirúrgicamente, se aprecia al apéndice con una tumoración quística, compatible con un quiste hidatídico complicado de Echinococcus granulosus. Posteriormente, se constatan otros tres quistes hidatídicos intrabdominales. No existió antecedente quirúrgico o traumático, por lo que se considera una localización primaria intraabdominal diseminada, queincluía al apéndice, hígado y peritoneo.

“…Therefore, we can assume that the actual incidence of strongyloidiasis is even higher than the incidence estimated in this study. As some authors indicate, the incidence rate is curiously low in areas where irregular sub-Saharan immigration is greater[ 25 ]. The ICM-9 only describes strongyloidiasis as a whole entity and does not consider the different clinical spectrum of the disease, and it is therefore impossible to determine how many cases were really sick with strongyloidiasis and how many presented with S .…”

Surveillance of strongyloidiasis in Spanish in-patients (1998–2014)

BackgroundStrongyloides stercoralis is a parasite that causes strongyloidiasis, a neglected tropical disease. S. stercoralis is a soil-transmitted helminth that is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Strongyloidiasis can occur without any symptoms or as a chronic infection characterized by mild, unspecific symptoms such as pruritus, abdominal pain or discomfort; respiratory impairment also may manifest as a potentially fatal hyperinfection or disseminated infection. Most studies on strongyloidiasis in Spain have been related to chronic forms in immigrants or travellers from endemic zones and have mainly analysed out-patient populations. Studies of the impact of strongyloidiasis cases admitted to hospitals in Spain are lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the impact of strongyloidiasis in hospital care in Spain.MethodologyWe designed a retrospective descriptive study using the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS, CMBD in Spanish) for inpatients with ICD-9: 127.2 (strongyloidiasis) diagnoses admitted to hospitals in the Spanish National Health System between 1998 and 2014.Principal findingsA total of 507 hospitalizations with diagnosis of strongyloidiasis were recorded, 324 cases (63.9%) were males. The mean (±SD) age was 42.1±20.1 years. The impact of strongyloidiasis on the total population of Spain was 0.06 cases per 105 person-years, and the infection burden increased progressively over time (from 0.01 cases per 105 person-years in 1999 to 0.10 cases per 105 person-years in 2014). 40 cases (7.9%) died. The total cost was approximately €8,681,062.3, and the mean cost per patient was €17,122.4±97,968.8.ConclusionsOur data suggest that strongyloidiasis is frequent in Spain and is increasing in incidence. Therefore, it would be desirable to improve the oversight and surveillance of this condition. Due to the fact that strongyloidiasis can be fatal, we believe that there is a need to establish risk categories for inclusion in national guidelines/protocols for screening individuals at risk of developing strongyloidiasis.
