Parasites: A Treatise on the Entozoa of Man and Animals: Including Some Account of the Ectozoa

Whether _Pent. denticulatum_ be or be not devoid of clinical interest,
it is quite clear from Aitken’s account that _P. constrictum_ is a
formidable parasite and one that occasionally proves fatal to the
bearer. As his remarks suggest, a parasite that can produce both
pneumonia and peritonitis is not a creature that either the physician
or the sanitarian can afford to ignore. Lastly, I must again express my
belief that the so-called _Echinorhynchus_, described by Welch, if it
be not the _Pentastoma denticulatum_, must either be referred to _P.
constrictum_ (in an early larval condition), or to some other hitherto
undescribed pentastomatoid larva.
