摘　　要：Taenia spp.are flatworms of the class Cestoda,whose definitive hosts are humans and primates.Human infestation(taeniasis) results from the ingestion of raw meat contaminated with encysted larval tapeworms and is considered relatively harmless and mostly asymptomatic.Anemia is not recognized as a possible sign of taeniasis and taeniasis-induced hemorrhage is not described in medical books.Its therapy is based on anthelmintics such praziquantel,niclosamide or albendazole.Here we describe a case of acute ileal bleeding in an Italian man affected with both Taenia spp.infestation resistant to albendazole and Helicobacter pylori-associated duodenal ulcers.Taenia spp.are flatworms of the class Cestoda,whose definitive hosts are humans and primates.Human infestation(taeniasis) results from the ingestion of raw meat contaminated with encysted larval tapeworms and is considered relatively harmless and mostly asymptomatic.Anemia is not recognized as a possible sign of taeniasis and taeniasis-induced hemorrhage is not described in medical books.Its therapy is based on anthelmintics such praziquantel,niclosamide or albendazole.Here we describe a case of acute ileal bleeding in an Italian man affected with both Taenia spp.infestation resistant to albendazole and Helicobacter pylori-associated duodenal ulcers.
