Review of systems was negative for fevers, night sweats, or involuntary weightloss. Physical exam was notable for an obese abdomen, but was otherwise unremarkable.[healio.com]
Infection is usually asymptomatic, but mild GI symptoms (eg, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, weightloss) may be noted. Fish tapeworms take up dietary vitamin B 12, occasionally resulting in vitamin B12 deficiency and megaloblastic anemia.[msdmanuals.com]
Manifestations may include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, vomiting, and weightloss. Vitamin B12 deficiency with pernicious anemia may occur. Massive infections may result in intestinal obstruction.[cdc.gov]

The main clinical complaints were intermittent gastrointestinal troubles such as indigestion, abdominaldistension, and spontaneous discharge of tapeworm's segments in their feces.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chronicdiarrhea may lead to malnutrition. Megaloblastic anemia secondary to B12 deficiency results when the parasite disrupts the B12-intrinsic factor complex, resulting in B12 becoming unavailable for absorption by the host.[antiinfectivedrugs.com]

An alternative treatment is Niclosamide, 2 g PO once for adults or 50 mg/kg PO once.[11] One should note that Praziquantel is not FDA approved for this indication and Niclosamide is not available for human use in the United States[haikudeck.com]
Abstract Seven cases of Diphyllobothrium latum infection were proved by collection of worms after praziquantel treatment between October, 1986 and July, 1987.[parasitol.kr]
Treatment of Diphyllobothrium is simple with a single dose of praziquantel 25mg/kg, with a repeat stool check 1 month following treatment to document cure.[healio.com]
Treatment Therapy for infection with D latum consists of either praziquantel or niclosamide (Box 2). Follow-up examinations of stool should be performed 1 and 3 months after treatment.[antiinfectivedrugs.com]

Prevention & Control Prevention of infection from D latum is achieved through adequate cooking of all freshwater fish or freezing of fish for 24-48 h at -18 C (Box 3). Isolation of infected persons is not required.[antiinfectivedrugs.com]
There are also preventative methods such as proper preparation of fish. [1] Diphyllobothrium latum, An Example of a "Stage 3" Parasite: In The Art of Being a Parasite, Claude Combs proposes that there are three stages of parasitism.[bio390parasitology.blogspot.com]
Until 1982, infection with Diphyllobothrium was a reportable disease in the United States, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated between 125 to 200 cases between 1977 and 1981.[healio.com]
The following preventive measures can be adopted to reduce the risk of Diphyllobothriasis: Eating raw or undercooked (especially freshwater) fish must be avoided. Cooking fish to temperatures over 145 deg. F (63 deg.[dovemed.com]
