Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Lesions in Brain and Spinal Cord [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010
A 13-year-old boy had a one-month history of left upper limb numbness and headache, and a 20-day history of intermittent fever. He had eaten an inadequately cooked Pomacea canaliculata, an intermediate host of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, 35 days earlier. Blood count analysis showed 7.52 × 109 leukocytes/L with 18.3% eosinophils (0.5–5%).
