title: [The clinical characteristics of 2 outbreaks of trichinelliasis].
abstract: In 1988-1989 two outbreaks of trichinosis were recorded. The first case was group disease developed in 3 members of the family. The source of infection was rissoles rolled in cabbage leaves [correction of goloubets] stuffed with minced pork. The second outbreak affected 13 persons who had eaten home-made pork sausage and fat. All the patients displayed fever, weakness, muscular pain, subcutaneous fat edema, predominantly of the face. The patients suffered from dry mouth, thirst, deteriorated appetite, exanthema, eosinophilia, more occasionally, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Trichinosis was confirmed serologically. Vermox therapy (300 mg per day) was performed for 7 to 12 days. The disease was severe, moderate and mild in 5, 7 and 4 patients, respectively. A brief abstract from a case record of a patient with severe trichinosis complicated by allergic myocarditis is presented. The severity of the disease was associated with the infecting dose and the time at which etiotropic therapy was started. Vermox had a good therapeutic effect and caused no adverse events.
