Abstract
To the Editor: Gnathostomiasis is an infestation by nematodes of the genus Gnathostoma; the main source of infection is raw freshwater fish. In the past, gnathostomiasis was regarded as restricted to certain Asian and Central American countries, but increase of migratory flux and changes in alimentary habits have contributed to importing cases into areas where the disease is not endemic (1,2). We report a case of autochthonous gnasthostomiasis in Brazil.
