검증된 단계별 안내
1
Step 1: Understand the symptom described — swelling around the eyes — and consider which of the listed microorganisms is known to cause this symptom.
Step 2: Review the characteristics and typical disease presentations of each microorganism: Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Escherichia, Salmonella, and Trichinella.
Step 3: Recall that Trichinella is a parasitic worm that causes trichinosis, a disease often characterized by muscle inflammation and swelling, including periorbital edema (swelling around the eyes).
Step 4: Compare this symptom with the typical symptoms caused by the other microorganisms, which generally cause gastrointestinal symptoms rather than swelling around the eyes.
Step 5: Conclude that the microorganism associated with swelling around the eyes is Trichinella based on its disease pathology.

Trichinella and Trichinosis

Trichinella is a parasitic roundworm causing trichinosis, typically contracted by eating undercooked meat. A key symptom is periorbital edema, or swelling around the eyes, due to larval migration and immune response. Understanding this helps link symptoms to the parasite.

Differentiation Between Bacterial, Protozoan, and Parasitic Infections

The listed organisms include bacteria (Campylobacter, Escherichia, Salmonella), a protozoan (Cryptosporidium), and a parasite (Trichinella). Knowing their classification and typical disease presentations is essential to distinguish which causes specific symptoms like eye swelling.
