A 41-Year-Old Woman with Migratory Panniculitis
Open accessAbstract
A 41-year-old woman had two months of intermittent migratory swellings in the trunk, face, and limbs associated with erythema, pruritus, and pain. Laboratory analysis showed moderate eosinophilia. The triad of eosinophilia, migratory lesions (nodular panniculitis), and raw fish consumption was highly suggestive of cutaneous gnathostomiasis. She was successfully treated with albendazole (400 mg twice a day for 21 days) and showed complete and permanent resolution of the lesions.

Superiority of albendazole alone or ivermectin alone for treatment of human gnathostomiasis has been controversial.
“However, superiority of albendazole alone or ivermectin alone for treatment of human gnathostomiasis has been controversial [139,140].”
From Albendazole and Mebendazole as Anti-Parasitic and Anti-Cancer Agents: an Update (2021) · cites this paper as [139]
The treatment passage in our copy (section labeled Abstract; no page given) reports that this patient did not improve after ivermectin but recovered after albendazole, and says previous studies found slightly more relapses with ivermectin. It addresses comparative outcomes, but does not say that the superiority of either drug remains controversial. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
