CASE RECORD
Three (Cases 1-3 in Table 1) of the 4 men visited our hospital with a whitish segment of a tapeworm (Fig. 1A) that were recovered in the feces in the morning. In their past history, they were living healthy in Seoul, without any recent travel history to a foreign country. They reported infrequent consumptions of salmon and trout in raw side dishes. They have intermittent abdominal discomforts, including indigestion and abdominal distension, and experienced discharge of a 30 cm to 3.0 m whitish living tapeworm proglottids (Table 1). The eggs (Fig. 1B) from the proglottids and the rosette form uterine tubules (Fig. 1C) seen in the proglottids were morphologically consistent with D. latum. Blood biochemical analysis and serological analysis were not done.
