| Summary: | This book clarifies the clinicopathologic and diagnostic aspects of gastric anisakiasis, which is caused by larval forms of Anisakis and related nematodes. Stress is placed upon radiologic and gastrointestinal endoscopic findings. These procedures are most advanced in Japan where incidence of the disease is high, possibly because of the Japanese custom of eating raw fish. The chapters in this book contain the latest information on this disease and are based on studies of over 17,000 cases reported in Japan. The text is beautifully illustrated and will particularly aid those performing gastric endocscopy to correct diagnosis of anisakiasis. |
