Symptoms Of Anisakiasis

Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain can come from many symptoms produced by anisakiasis. Anisakiasis may cause appendicitis, which involves a pattern of pain in the abdominal region. Peritonitis may also result from the parasite and also causes pain. The parasite itself may cause pain by lodging into the walls of the intestines or the stomach. Recently, anisakiasis has become increasingly common as a cause for pain in the abdomen. It is more common in areas where the consumption of raw or undercooked fish is popular. This is especially true for countries like Japan, and some areas of Western countries.
