, also known as rat tapeworm, infects humans uncommonly. The diagnosis is based on the demonstration of characteristic eggs in the feces. We present a case report of infection in a 6-year-old female child from an urban area of India who presented with fever and seizures and also had complaints of intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, and loss of appetite, without an apparent history of contact with rodents. The infection was treated with albendazole and showed clinical and parasitological cure. More awareness is required for a better understanding of epidemiology and transmission routes of this rare zoonosis.
（该寄生虫）也被称为鼠绦虫，很少感染人类。诊断基于粪便中特征性虫卵的检出。我们报告一例来自印度市区的6岁女童感染（该寄生虫）的病例，患儿出现发热和惊厥，并有间歇性腹痛、呕吐和食欲不振的症状，且无明显接触啮齿动物的病史。感染用阿苯达唑治疗，临床和寄生虫学均治愈。需要提高认识以更好地了解这种罕见人畜共患病的流行病学和传播途径。
