Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense is a large pseudophyllid cestode and one of the commonest parasites derived from fish in Japan. Three Japanese patients infected with D. nihonkaiense were treated with a single oral dose of 7, 23 or 25 mg/kg of praziquantel. All patients expelled the tapeworm with scolex, and no side effect was noted. This study indicates that single-dose treatment with praziquantel is effective against D. nihonkaiense infection.
日本裂头绦虫是一种大型假叶目绦虫，是日本最常见的鱼类源性寄生虫之一。三名感染日本裂头绦虫的日本患者接受了单次口服剂量为7、23或25mg/kg吡喹酮的治疗。所有患者均排出了带有头节的绦虫，且未观察到副作用。本研究表明，吡喹酮单剂量治疗对日本裂头绦虫感染有效。
