1/19. infection by Dipylidium caninum in an infant.Dipylidium caninum, the dog tapeworm, is a cosmopolitan parasite of dogs and cats and occasionally causes human infection in the united states. diagnosis is made by observing the characteristic rice grain-like proglottids in stool specimens and the pathognomonic egg packets in the gravid uterus in histologic sections of the parasite. There have been few reported cases of human infection with this parasite, and very little information on the pathology of this zoonotic disease is available in the English language. This report of a case of D caninum infection in a 6-month-old infant highlights the diagnostic features of this disease. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in the American pathology literature during the last 36 years (medline database, 1966-2002).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/19. Short report: a new case report of human mesocestoides infection in the united states.The twenty-seventh documented case of human mesocestoides infection, which corresponds to the seventh documented case in the united states, is reported. The case had its origin in Alexandria, louisiana in the summer of 1998. The patient was a 19-month-old boy. The strobila consisted of 35 proglottids that included mature as well as gravid segments containing a ventral genital pore and a parauterine organ. After a detailed microscopic examination, the tapeworm was identified as belonging to the genus mesocestoides. mesocestoides variabilis is the probable species responsible for the infection, since the six cases previously reported in the united states were identified as this species. After the treatment with a single dose of praziquantel (10 mg/kg), the tapeworm segments were no longer detectable in the child's feces. A food-borne origin of this infection derived from culinary customs of the Acadian and Creole communities in louisiana is proposed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.3333333333333keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |

(cestoda: Anoplocephalidae).The authors report on a new case of human Bertiellosis in a 2-year old female patient who was born in Goiania-Goias (brazil) and has had history of permanent dwelling in an area frequently visited by simians in Mato Grosso (brazil). At the time of diagnosis the patient showed inappetence, abdominal pain, and loss of weight. eggs and proglottids were found in her stool and were identified as Bertiella sp.

The patient was a 4 year old boy in Cai Lay district of Tien Giang Province, noting some proglottids in his feces. The time and mode of infection were unknown, but anorexia, weight loss, and intermittent diarrhea were noted. niclosamide (Yomesan) 1 gram was prescribed, and then albendazole (Zentel) 400mg daily for 3 days. Proglottids were found in the feces three months after the first treatment, and 1 month after the second course.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/19. Dipylidium caninum in an infant.The tapeworm, Dipylidium caninum, occurs worldwide in dogs and cats. It may occur rarely in children, when the infection may be unrecognised or misdiagnosed.

6/19. Human Bertiella studeri (family Anoplocephalidae) infection of probable Southeast Asian origin in Mauritian children and an adult.Morphologic studies on preserved and recently collected Bertiella specimens obtained from Mauritian children and an adult indicate that human infection is caused by Bertiella studeri instead of B. mucronata. This cestode might have been accidentally introduced onto the island of mauritius from the Southeast asia along with monkeys in the 17th century. We present information that will help identify B. studeri and provide a correct diagnosis. The case reports indicate gastrointestinal disturbances in human bertiellosis. Human infection with Bertiella studeri is reported for the first time in a Mauritian adult.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/19. Second case of human infection with mesocestoides lineatus in korea.The second case of human infection with mesocestoides lineatus in korea was reported. The patient, a farm worker, complained of abdominal pain and massive discharge of sesame-like proglottids in his stool for several months. Worms, recovered by chemotherapy with niclosamide, consisted of 32 strobilae. This may be the heaviest worm burden in human infection ever reported. The infected man habitually ate the raw viscera of chickens.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/19. case reports of Dipylidium caninum; a pet associated infection.Two cases of Dipylidium caninum (dog tape worm) infection occurring in children are reported for the first time in sri lanka.
