摘要
蠊缨滴虫是一种寄生于白蚁和蟑螂肠道内的寄生虫，以往认为该虫对人类无致病性，但自1992年首次报道人体蠊缨滴虫感染以来，相关报道日益增多。蠊缨滴虫感染通常导致呼吸系统的炎症，但咽、上颌窦和尿道的感染也偶见报道。由于蠊缨滴虫感染无特征性的临床表现，因此诊断比较困难，确诊依赖发现病原体。本文根据国内的76例报道，对蠊缨滴虫的形态、生活史及其感染特点进行了综述。
Lophomonas blattarum is a common endocommensal parasite in the colon of termites and cockroaches, and for much of the time has not been recognized as a human pathogen. The first case of human infection was reported in 1992 after which case reports presented more frequently in China. L. blattarum infections in humans commonly result in inflammation of the respiratory system but the pharynx, maxillary sinus and urinary tract were also affected in a few cases. The diagnosis of L. blattarum infection is difficult, confirmatory diagnosis should be made by identification of the protozoa. In this paper, we summarized the morphology, life cycle and characteristics of L. blattarum infection based on 76 reported cases in China.
