Abstract
Two out of five members of one household presented with clinical signs of trichinellosis after their return to the Netherlands. The family had consumed Trichinella-infected pork in Montenegro, formerly Yugoslavia. Serological tests were performed at 1, 2, 6, and 18 months after ingestion of the infected meat. Trichinella-specific IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies measured in sera from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients remained positive up to 18 months after ingestion. The measured IgG4 antibody response directed to a 45 kDa Trichinella spiralis antigen also persisted 18 months after ingestion for three of the family members.Entities:
