Abstract
-
Human sparganosis is an infection that is usually seen in the subcutaneous tissue, and it is caused by the migration of several species of related parasites that can accidentally infect man. We report here on the details of a human case of sparganosis that was identified serendipitously in the course of performing inguinal hernioplasty.
