The specimen was brought to the Department of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea, and was identified as D. latum according to the characteristic morphology of the worm and the eggs. The worm was creamy-white and 95 cm long without scolex and neck. Some proglottids were fixed with 10% formalin under a pressure of a glass slide. The size of a proglottid was 8.2 x 2.7 mm, and the number of proglottids was 330. Gravid proglottids stained with acetocarmine revealed a rosette-shape uterus with 4-5 times piled-up uterine loops (Fig. 1). The eggs collected from the proglottids were oval with an operculum at the anterior end and an abopercular protuberance at the posterior end, grayish brown, and 63.5 µm in average length and 42.5 µm in average width. The patient was treated with a single dose (15 mg/kg) of praziquantel, and there was no evidence of relapse during the next 9
