Abstract

Presented here is a description of trichinosis outbreak associated with bear meat consumption in the form of basturma and chips. The clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory characteristics of the disease course in observed three patients are given. In addition, a review of modern literature on the problem of trichinosis is presented, including issues of etiology, epidemiology, developmental cycle of trichinella, and features of disease clinical course, diagnosis, and treatment. Criteria to be looked at when trichinosis is suspected are also discussed.
