It most commonly manifests as gastrointestinal and cutaneous disease. Central nervous system involvement is a rare but feared complication, often leaving patients with permanent neurologic deficits. Clinicians outside of Asia and Latin America may have little experience with this illness, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. We describe a 40-year-old woman who developed a progressive myelopathy over 18 months. She had never traveled outside of New Zealand. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed marked eosinophilia and <jats:italic>Gnathostoma<\/jats:italic> serology was positive in both serum and CSF. This is the first report of gnathostomiasis acquired in New Zealand, and the first case of neurognathostomiasis reported outside Asia. Clinicians should include neurognathostomiasis in the differential diagnosis of myelopathy and CSF eosinophilia, even if there is no history of travel to endemic areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,12]],"date-time":"2016-07-12T06:25:38Z","timestamp":1468304738000},"page":"868-870","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Thoracic Myelopathy Due to Gnathostomiasis Acquired in New Zealand"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Eoin","family":"Mulroy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Neurology, Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Simpson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Neurology, Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Frith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Neurology, Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Proc Zool Soc Lond","first-page":"123","article-title":"Gnathostoma spinigerum n.sp","volume":"4","author":"Owen","year":"1836"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"484","article-title":"Gnathostomiasis, another emerging imported disease","volume":"22","author":"Herman","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"1174","article-title":"Neurognathostomiasis, a neglected parasitosis of the central nervous system","volume":"17","author":"Katchanov","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Travel Med","first-page":"318","article-title":"Gnathostomiasis: an emerging infection of raw fish consumers in Gnathostoma nematode-endemic and nonendemic countries","volume":"22","author":"Diaz","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"264","article-title":"Gnathostomosis, an emerging foodborne zoonotic disease in Acapulco, Mexico","volume":"5","author":"Rojas-Molina","year":"1999"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Int J Parasitol","first-page":"1351","article-title":"Emerging helminth zoonoses","volume":"30","author":"McCarthy","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"594","article-title":"Gnathostomiasis acquired by British tourists in Botswana","volume":"15","author":"Herman","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Med J Aust","first-page":"42","article-title":"Gnathostomiasis in remote northern Western Australia: the first confirmed cases acquired in Australia","volume":"195","author":"Jeremiah","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol","first-page":"446","article-title":"MR imaging findings in cerebrospinal gnathostomiasis","volume":"25","author":"Sawanyawisuth","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"J Neurol Sci","first-page":"279","article-title":"Neurological manifestations of gnathostomiasis","volume":"31","author":"Boongird","year":"1977"},{"year":"2009","series-title":"Import Risk Analysis: Tropical, Subtropical and Temperate Freshwater and Marine Ornamental Fish and Marine Molluscs and Crustaceans: Review of Submissions and Supplementary Risk Analysis","author":"MAF Biosecurity New Zealand","key":"ref11"}],"container-title":["The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/95\/4\/article-p868.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/95\/4\/article-p868.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/95\/4\/article-p868.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T21:55:22Z","timestamp":1723067722000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/95\/4\/article-p868.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,5]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0283","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0002-9637"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1476-1645"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,5]]}}}
