Raillietiniaisis in a Toddler From Hawaii: A Case of Mistaken Tapeworm Identity.

Richard E Davis1, Blaine A Mathison2, Marc Roger Couturier1,2.   

Abstract

We present the first reported case from the United States of human infection with the intestinal cestode Raillietina, a parasite primarily of rodents and poultry. As the differential diagnosis between the morphologically similar Dipylidium caninum was challenging, we discuss the biology, epidemiology, and clinical management of this rare parasite.
