Abstract

Gnathostomiasis is a rare nematode disease acquired by travelers to endemic areas. The most common clinical presentations are cutaneous forms; however, neurologic involvement can also occur. We present two cases of gnathostomiasis, one of them with severe neurologic complications, in Spanish travelers to Thailand and Mexico, who consumed local food and became infected.
