Eosinophilic Meningitis caused of Angiostrongylus cantonesis (Meningitis Eosinofilik yang Disebabkan oleh Angiostrongylus cantonesis)

---

Metastrongylid nematodes of the genus Angiostrongylus have been found to be important human parasites. Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a lungworm that lives in the pulmonary artery of rats is a cause of human eosinophilic meningitis in many Pacific islands including Hawaii, Thailand, Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia and in Cuba. In the life cycle, rats excrete first-stage larvae in feces; these maybe ingested by snails and the larvae reach infective stage in the molluses. When the molluses are eaten by rats, the larvae migrate through the brain before they become adults in the pulmonary artery. Here the worms mates and females lay eggs which will develop and hatch in the lung tissue. Human infection usually occured by eating raw or poorly cooked, infected shrimp or crabs or large snail. In the human host larvae migrate to the brain and spinal cord, giving rise to meningeal symptoms.
