This review summarizes medically important cestode infections in Korea. Taeniases and sparganosis are common, while others like Hymenolepis nana are rare.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Cestode infections, though less frequent than other helminthiases, can cause severe clinical issues.
  • Korea has documented various cestodes, including Diphyllobothrium latum, Spirometra erinacei, Hymenolepis nana, Taenia solium, and Echinococcus granulosus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a literature review of medically significant cestode infections in Korea.
  • To highlight prevalent and rare cestode infections and their clinical implications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidemiological surveys and case reports on cestode infections in Korea.
  • Compilation of reported cestode species and their prevalence.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Taeniases (Taenia saginata, Taenia solium) and sparganosis (Spirometra) are prevalent in Korea.
  • Hymenolepis nana infection is rare (0.22% in 1986).
  • Diphyllobothrium latum infections are uncommon but increasing; most hydatidosis cases are imported.

Conclusions:

  • Taeniases and sparganosis represent significant cestode burdens in Korea.
  • While some cestode infections are rare, others show increasing trends or pose serious clinical risks, necessitating continued surveillance.
