Intestinal Infection by Taenia Solium

Two individuals (1 HIV and 1 HIV-) presented with headaches as the main symptom for NCC, and four with asymptomatic NCC. Among the HIV group, TSOL was not associated with CD4 cell counts, HAART duration or HIV stage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Infection may be associated with epigastric pain, diarrhoea and weight loss. T. solium adult worm infections are also usually asymptomatic. Many tissues and organs may be infected by the larval form (cysticercosis). [www2.health.vic.gov.au]

    At times there are a few mild symptoms such as abdominal pain, altered appetite, diarrhea, constipation, hunger pains and weight loss. The fatal infection for humans is cysticercosis, where the human acts as an intermediate hosts for the cysticerci. [animaldiversity.org]

  • Malnutrition

    Chronic tapeworm infections contribute to malnutrition in developing communities in many parts of the world. Reservoir for Taenia Humans are the definitive host for both species. [www2.health.vic.gov.au]

  • Abdominal Pain

    About half of the cases complained of a mild abdominal pain. Soft stool or diarrhea and dizziness were observed in some cases. [parasitol.kr]

    The abdominal pain first appears in the peri umbilical area and then migrates to the lower right part of the abdomen. [explainmedicine.com]

    The presence of an adult tapeworm in the intestine may cause non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. Cysticerci have been recovered from all areas of the body. [www1.agric.gov.ab.ca]

    These symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and constipation. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Abdominal Cramps

    cramps, nervousness, insomnia, digestive disturbances, weight loss; passage of worms can be associated with dizziness, headache, weakness, and tingling EPIDEMIOLOGY: Worldwide; prevalent in areas where beef is improperly cooked; frequent in Yugoslavia [msdsonline.com]

  • Increased Appetite

  • Headache

    Seroprevalence was higher among individuals with a history of seizures but not in those reporting a history of headache or intestinal taeniasis. Prevalence of taeniasis ranged from 0-6.7% (median, 2.5%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Before mass treatment, the prevalence of human taeniasis was 3.5%; 10 months after treatment it was 1%, a significant decrease (P 10(-4)). All tapeworms that could be identified to the species level were T. solium. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Additional methods for evaluation include use of portable ultrasound and rapid-diagnostic serologic assays to identify heavily-infected pigs in the field, and presumptive treatment within rings (ring-treatment) as a potential alternative to ring-screening [grantome.com]

The strategies included mass treatment, minimal mass treatment, mass screening, strategic treatment, prevention education, and pig replacement. [nejm.org]

In the final phase, mass treatment was given to 81,170 people in 107 villages, and 55,638 pigs received treatment and vaccination. [news-medical.net]
