Abstract

HERRERA VALDES, Nilda E.; DIAZ GARCIA, María Elena; SANDOVAL ACOSTA, Martha  and  GARCIA BATISTA, Norma. Inermicapsifer madagascariensis . Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2007, vol.36, n.1. ISSN 0138-6557.

The case received at the Microbiology Laboratory of “Dr. Luis Díaz Soto” Higher Institute of Military Medicine, in April 2004, of a 2-year-old girl that expelled “grains of rice” in the feces is reported. The diagnosis of Inermicapsifer madagascariensis was made. The parasite “reappearance” led us to make a review of it, and of its incidence in Cuba . After a “silence” period since 1948, 2 cases were reported in Havana City in 1996, and 23 cases were diagnosed in Santa Clara, in 2003. That is why a call is made to health care physicians on the presence of this parasite in our environment.

Keywords : Inermicapsiferiasis; parasitism due to Inermicapsifer.
