Abstract

We described a Saudi patient infected with Diphyllobothrium latum D. latum. A 38-year-old male presented, complaining of passing worms. He had a history of recent travel to Europe and South East Asia. Stools examination revealed typical D. latum eggs. He was treated with praziquantel followed by saline purge, after which he discharged an intact tapeworm. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the worm confirmed the diagnosis of D. latum. This is the first case of diphyllobothriasis to be reported in Saudi Arabia. The epidemiology and methods of prevention of diphyllobothriasis are discussed.

摘要

我们描述了一名感染阔节裂头绦虫的沙特患者。一名38岁男性前来就诊，主诉排出蠕虫。他近期有前往欧洲和东南亚旅行的历史。粪便检查发现了典型的阔节裂头绦虫卵。他接受了吡喹酮治疗，随后进行了盐水灌肠，之后排出了一条完整的绦虫。对该蠕虫的宏观和微观检查确诊为阔节裂头绦虫感染。这是沙特阿拉伯报告的首例阔节裂头绦虫病病例。文中讨论了阔节裂头绦虫病的流行病学及预防方法。
