Overview

Hymenolepiasis must be differentiated from tapeworm infections like diphyllobothriasis, taeniasis, and schistosomiasis.

Hymenolepis infection differential diagnosis

Hymenolepiasis must be differentiated from tapeworm infections like diphyllobothriasis, taeniasis, and schistosomiasis.[1]

Infections Common causative threadworms Suggestive findings Diagnostic approach Treatment
Hymenolepiasis Hymenolepis nana
Taeniasis Taenia solium and Taenia saginata
  • Stool examination for the eggs and proglottids
  • Brain CT scan or Biopsy (for cysticercosis)
Diphyllobothriasis Diphyllobothrium latum and Diphyllobothrium latum
Schistosomiasis (Schistosoma japonicum,Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium)
