Halzoun

Halzoun it is a local name of a buccopharyngeal infection occurring in Lebanon, probably caused by pentastomida larvae of Linguatula serrata (dog tongue worm) which wander into the throat of the human host after ingestion of infected raw liver or lymph nodes from sheep or goats.

Halzoun considered as a one of different forms of infection with Fasciola, that ingestion of infected raw sheep and goat livers may result in attachment of adult living worms by their suckers to the pharyngeal mucosa causing edema of the soft palate, pharynx and larynx. This edema is accompanied by dyspnea and occasionally asphyxia.
