A Case of Human Diplogonoporus grandis Infection Detected Radiologically
抄録
The 59th case of human Diplogonoporus grandis infection in Japan was presented in this paper. The fragmented strobila of the tapeworm was spontaneously discharged from a 45-year-old male living in Nagasaki Prefecture. This tapeworm was shown on X-ray films of bowel series as presented in Photo. 1. Degenerated proglottides of the worm were found in the stool in the course of bithionol treatment, the scolex being not identified due to the degeneration. After the treatment the worm was not detected radiologically, and also repeated stool examinations were negative. It indicated the therapeutic effect of bithionol on this tapeworm. The morphological characteristics of this tapeworm were similar to those previously reported on 58 cases. The discharged eggs before treatment seemed to be matured, because the morphology of the eggs was identical with that reported by previous authors. Horizontal, transverse and sagittal sections of the strobilae failed to reveal the details of the genital organs.
