Abstract
- The first human case of Diplogonoporus balaenopterae infection is reported in Korea. The patient was a 41-year old male who passed a part of cestode strobila, about 1 m long, spontaneously in his stool. He used to eat raw marine fish when he drank alcohol. The worm was identified as D. balaenopterae after morhological observations and literature review. Results of laboratory examination were within normal limits except for slight eosinophilia (6%) and extraordinarily high serum Ig E level (10,182 IU/ml).
