title: [Anisakiasis in Spain. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: We reported here three cases of non-imported anisakiasis in Spanish patients. Eating raw sardines was the only common epidemiological feature. Two of the cases presented clinically as a bowel obstruction, and underwent an emergency surgical procedure. In the intestinal biopsy a larva of Anisakiasis simplex was found in the abdominal wall, surrounded by a eosinophilic granuloma and large edema. The third case presented as a peptic ulcer disease with longer evolution time, and a larva of Pseudoterranova decipiens (Phocanema) was found during an upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure.
