Abstract
Sir, The main route of human trichinosis is eating raw or undercooked pork, but there are also reports of some cases and outbreaks caused by wild boar, horse, dog, cougar, walrus, badger meat, etc., in the literature. Trichinosis is extremely rare in Turkey, because eating pork is prohibited in Islam and consumption of wild game meat is uncommon. Not to be considered in differential diagnosis may cause delays in the diagnosis and the treatment. Here we present an index case and a number of related cases which could only be diagnosed after the patient’s friends had similar complaints and explained that they had eaten wild boar meat all together.
