Dr. K. Sreekanth, Dr. Shaik Syfulla Sharif

Abstract :

 Tapeworms are long, segmented worms of the class Cestoda, which comprise 1 of 3 classes of parasitic worms (worms that require a host within which to mature).These worms lack an intestinal tract and instead can absorb nutrients through their integument.Although infection with T saginata (obtained from raw or undercooked beef) occurs worldwide, the prevalence is less than 1% . Here we report 2 cases of tape worm infestation presenting to Government General Hospital Kurnool.
