Clinical Presentation in Humans
Upon infection with N. salmincola, humans are normally asymptomatic. If symptoms are present, they are usually non-specific and mistaken for indication of other gastrointestinal problems. Symptoms include “diarrhea, unexplained peripheral blood eosinophilia, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, and fatigue.” Eggs of N. salmincola appear in stools approximately one week after ingestion of infected fish.
