Abstract

Taenia saginata is one of the species of intestinal tapeworms for which humans are the only definitive hosts. It occurs worldwide; however, it emerges mostly where the consumption of improperly cooked beef is common. Most human carriers are asymptomatic, and patients who are symptomatic may sense the movement of proglottids through the anus. Other associated symptoms are nausea, epigastric pain, and anorexia. The diagnosis is usually established by macroscopic determination and microbiological tests. Praziquantel and niclosamide are the therapeutic agents for the treatment. This study aimed to report a case of a 4-yearold boy, in which T. saginata proglottids were expelled through the nose and anus
