ABSTRACT

La difilobotriosis es una parasitosis intestinal causada por la infección de cestodos del genero Diphyllobothrium. En la Argentina, la Patagonia Andina es considerada una zona endémica para esta parasitosis. La infección por Diphyllobothrium latum no ha sido previamente notificada en la provincia de Mendoza; en este trabajo comunicamos un caso de esta parasitosis que fue confirmada por el análisis de las características morfológicas de los huevos eliminados con la materia fecal de un paciente infectado. Se destaca la necesidad de información y capacitación de los profesionales de la salud en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de parasitosis no endémicas.


Diphyllobothriosis is an intestinal parasitosis caused by cestodes infection of the genus Diphyllobothrium. In Argentina, the Andean Patagonia is considered an endemic area for this parasitosis. Diphyllobothrium latum infection has not been previously reported in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. We are now reporting then the first case. Diphyllobothriosis was confirmed by examination of morphologic characteristics of the eggs eliminated in the patients' feces. These results suggest the requirement of a more specific training of health workers in the diagnosis and treatment of non endemic parasitosis. We want to emphasize the need of health workers' education on diagnosis and treatment of endemic and non-endemic parasitosis.

ABSTRACT

Se presentan 2 pacientes del sexo femenino y de la raza blanca, de 11 meses y 1 año de edad, respectivamente, con parasitismo intestinal por Inermicapsifer madagascariensis (Inermicapsifer cubensis) atendidas en la consulta externa de Pediatría del Instituto de Medicina Tropical "Pedro Kourí" durante los últimos 3 años. Ambas pacientes, con historia de expulsar parásitos por el ano, que no curaban con los diversos tratamientos utilizados para taeniasis, fueron remitidas a este centro donde se hizo el diagnóstico de Inermicapsifer madagascariensis y se les aplicó el tratamiento específico con Praziquantel, desapareciendo el parasitismo.


Two female white patients of 11 months and 1 year of age, respectively, with intestinal parasitism due to Inermicapsifer madagascariensis (Inermicapsifer cubensis) are presented. They were attended at the Pediatrics Outpatient Department of the "Pedro Kourí" Institute of Tropical Medicine during the last 3 years. Both patients who did not cure with the different treatment used against taeniasis and who used to expel parasites through the snus, were referred to this center, where they were diagnosed Inermicapsifer madagascariensis. Parasitism dissapeared with a specific treatment with Praziquantel.
