Abstract
A 44-year-old man from Marin County, California, coughed up from his throat and extricated manually from his mouth a living anisakine nematode 10 days after eating “sashimi” prepared from raw white sea bass. The transitory, mild eosinophilia observed indicated that temporary tissue invasion may have occurred. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic. The nematode, identified as a Phocanema sp. larva, was more developed than are the larval stages usually recovered from fish.Keywords
