The aim of this work was to describe the epidemiological and clinical data of five outbreaks of trichinellosis, which affected ethnic minorities living in remote mountainous areas of northwestern Vietnam from 1970 to 2012. Trichinellosis was diagnosed in 126 patients, of which 11 (8.7%) were hospitalized and 8 (6.3%) died. All infected people had consumed raw pork from backyard and roaming pigs or wild boar at wedding, funeral, or New Year parties. The short incubation period (average of 9.5 days), the severity of the symptoms, which were characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, myalgia, edema, weight loss, itch, and lisping, and the high mortality, suggest that patients had ingested a high number of larvae. The larval burden in pigs examined in one of the outbreaks ranged from 70 to 879 larvae\/g. These larvae and those collected from a muscle biopsy taken from a patient from the 2012 outbreak were identified as <jats:italic>Trichinella spiralis<\/jats:italic>. Data presented in this work show that the northern regions of Vietnam are endemic areas for <jats:italic>Trichinella<\/jats:italic> infections in domestic pigs and humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.14-0570","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,7]],"date-time":"2015-04-07T02:34:08Z","timestamp":1428374048000},"page":"1265-1270","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Trichinellosis in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Nguyen","family":"Van De","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vu","family":"Thi Nga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Dorny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nguyen","family":"Vu Trung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pham","family":"Ngoc Minh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Do","family":"Trung Dung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Pozio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"127","article-title":"Epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and control of trichinellosis","volume":"22","author":"Gottstein","year":"2009"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Vet Parasitol","first-page":"3","article-title":"World distribution of Trichinella spp. infections in animals and humans","volume":"149","author":"Pozio","year":"2007"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"2194","article-title":"Worldwide occurrence and impact of human trichinellosis, 1986\u20132009","volume":"17","author":"Murrell","year":"2011"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"40","article-title":"A major trichinellosis outbreak suggesting a high endemicity of Trichinella infection in northern Laos","volume":"78","author":"Barennes","year":"2008"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Bull Soc Pathol Exot","first-page":"521","article-title":"Human trichinosis.
