Han Han (pseudonym), a 1-year-old baby in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, has a worm body similar to a white millet grain in his stool, and his parents have been diagnosed with a rare person infected with canine re-hole tapeworm after visiting many hospitals.
"This type of parasite is most common in cats and dogs, and it is rare for humans to be infected, and there are already data showing that there are fewer than 200 cases of infection worldwide." Pu Yijing, head of the laboratory department of Haining Kanghua Hospital, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn).
At the end of January, Han Han began to experience the above symptoms. His parents took him to several hospitals, all of which were considered to be intestinal parasites, but the effect was not good after taking "insect repellent". Finally, at Haining Kanghua Hospital, through sample analysis and observation, the doctor judged that it may be Tapeworm canine. After discussion and verification by experts from the Parasitology Teaching and Research Department of Shanghai Second Military Medical University, it was confirmed that the object in hanhan's stool was indeed a canine re-hole tapeworm.
According to reports, adult tapeworm canine reamerant parasitizes in the small intestine of dogs and cats, and people are mostly infected by mistakenly eating fleas containing cysticercosis, and the patients are mostly infants and young children.
Zhou Xiaoqi, director of the pediatric ward of Haining Kanghua Hospital, repeatedly asked Han Han's parents about the medical history, and the parents realized that it should be related to the pet dogs raised at home.
Before Han Han was born, his parents had pet dogs. But after the baby is born, the new parents are busy with the child alone, neglecting the health management of the pet dog. According to Han Han's parents, the recent failure to deworm the pet dog may have led to Han Han's infection with parasites.
After expert consultation, the doctor first let Han Han oral pycnone tablets to completely kill the worms, and then oral magnesium sulfate to induce diarrhea, after 3 weeks of treatment, Han Han recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
