Title

ACUTE INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TOTAENIA SAGINATA INFESTATION: A CASE REPORT

Pages

  136-139

Abstract

 Background: Infection with TAENIA SAGINATA or TAENIASIS is an uncommon parasitic infection in Iran with a prevalence rate of 2-3% and it is more seen in the northern parts of the country. Epigastric pain, nervousness, dizziness, nausea and loss of appetite may be the only presenting symptoms but secondary appendicitis, acute INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION and necrosis of the pancreas are its serious and rare complications.Case presentation: A 62-year old woman was admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital with signs of acute abdomen. She had a past history of infection with hydatid cyst and its subsequent surgery, eight years ago. At the time of admission, she suffered from persistent ABDOMINAL PAIN and loss of appetite for two years. Despite having the epidemiological evidence of working along the banks of rivers contaminated with human sewage and working on farms fertilized with human waste and presence of signs hinting at the disease, parasitic infection had not been considered in its diagnosis.Conclusion: Although signs and symptoms of TAENIASIS are non-specific but a complete history, physical examination and detailed patient notes, especially by considering epidemiological factors, are very important to the early diagnosis of TAENIASIS.
