[Invasive cysticercosis due to Taenia crassiceps in an AIDS patient].

A first case is reported from France of a subcutaneous and muscular tissues invasion by proliferative larval forms of Taenia crassiceps in an AIDS-patient with severe immunodeficiency. These larvae usually develop in rodents whereas the adult form of the cestode is commonly found in foxes. Authors emphasize the differential diagnosis from other human subcutaneous metacestodoses such as T.

Subcutaneous Taenia crassiceps cysticercosis in a dog.

Taenia crassiceps larvae, typically found in rodents, were recovered from fluctuant subcutaneous cystic lesions in a dog. Differential diagnosis included Taenia crassiceps cysticercosis, other metacestode infections, and pseudotumoral skin diseases.

[Anisakids and human anisakiasis. 1. Bibliographic data].
