First report of human infection with Gynaecotyla squatarolae and first Korean record of Haplorchis pumilio in a patient.

Gynaecotyla squatarolae (Digenea: Microphallidae) is a minute intestinal trematode whose natural hosts are aves. We conducted a feces screening survey in a coastal village of Muan-gun, where the residents routinely consume brackish water crabs as a food. Through this survey, a 50-year-old female was found to shed gymnophallid and heterophyid eggs in her stool, and 845 adult flukes were collected from her purged stool.
