Abstract
The third human case of natural infection by Heterophyopsis continua in Korea was found in Chinju, Kyongsangnam-do. The case was a 53-year-old man. He used to eat raw brackish and fresh water fish. After praziquantel treatment and purgation, H. continua were collected from the diarrheal stool together with Metagonimus yokogawai, Heterophyes nocens and Echinostoma hortense. His clinical complaints were indigestion, epigastric discomfort, poor appetite and fatigue. The complaints were considered rather due to heavy M. yokogawai infection.
