Abstract EN
We report a female toddler who presented repetitively with a chief complaint of motile white worms seen in her diapers.
Symptoms of perianal itching and visualization of visible motile worms persisted for 6 months despite being treated with multiple courses of albendazole causing a lot of frustration and distress to the caregivers.
The characteristics of the worms by inspection along with the presence of 3 pet dogs are consistent with Dipylidium caninum.
