Pathophysiological aspects of Trichinella infection in man.
The author presents significant elements of the pathomechanism of general disorders resulting from trichinellosis. Moreover, the pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal phase is also outlined while special emphasis is put on disorders in the early stage of invasion, in the acute stage of the disease associated with other clinical symptoms, and disturbances after other clinical symptoms have subsided. The pathophysiology of muscle invasion deals also with the essential morphological changes within muscle fibers and with biochemical and bioelectric disturbances in muscle tissue. An outline of cardiopathophysiology in the course of trichinellosis is also presented.
