Preview

The incidence of many infectious diseases has declined as a result of modern sanitation, disease surveillance programs, and other public health measures. Trichinosis, however, continues to occur at a frequency that merits awareness by physicians. Dr Stack describes a case linked to homemade pork sausage and reviews current factors in epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon but still troublesome disease.
