We describe a case of asymptomatic infection caused by Diphyllobothrium latum, probably following a meal of "sushi" in a Japanese restaurant in Rome one year before. The diagnosis was obtained observing morphology and seizures of proglottids and ova. We recall the life cycle of this cestode and report criteria for a differential diagnosis with other species of the Diphyllobothrium genus, usually rare in humans, and caused by the ingestion of marine fish and not freshwater fish.
我们描述了一例由阔节裂头绦虫引起的无症状感染病例，可能是一年前在罗马一家日本餐厅食用“寿司”后感染的。通过观察节片和虫卵的形态及蠕动情况做出诊断。我们回顾了这种绦虫的生命周期，并报告了与阔节裂头绦虫属其他通常在人类中罕见的物种进行鉴别诊断的标准，这些感染是由食用海鱼而非淡水鱼引起的。
