Anisakiasis in Hawaii: a radiological diagnosis.
Human anisakiasis, an increasing medical problem in Japan, was recently identified in 7 people in Hawaii. We report an 8th case occurring in an individual who had consumed a large amount of raw squid sushi at a restaurant. The diagnosis of anisakiasis in this patient was made after the parasite was identified by X-ray. To our knowledge, radiographic demonstration of the anisakiasis parasite has not been reported in Hawaii previously.
