We report a case of Hymenolepis diminuta infection in a 2-year-old Malaysian child. This case was initially reported as 'normal' after the examination of proglottids shed from the anus of the child at a private laboratory on two occasions. The putative proglottids shed was then referred to the Parasite Southeast Asia Diagnostic (Para:SEAD) Laboratory, Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya for further examination. Microscopic examination confirmed that the child was infected with H. diminuta based on the characteristic eggs found in the proglottids. She was treated with a single dose praziquantel (20 mg/kg of body weight) and recovered well.
我们报告一例2岁马来西亚儿童感染微小膜壳绦虫的病例。该病例最初在一家私人实验室对该儿童肛门排出的节片进行两次检查后被报告为“正常”。随后，所排出的疑似节片被送往马来亚大学医学院寄生虫学系的东南亚寄生虫诊断（Para:SEAD）实验室进行进一步检查。显微镜检查根据在节片中发现的特征性虫卵确诊该儿童感染了微小膜壳绦虫。她接受了单剂量吡喹酮（20毫克/千克体重）治疗，恢复良好。
