Epidemiological and clinical studies were carried out on 50 cases of infection with Taenia saginata, seen in the Clinic of Internal Medicine, Chiba National Hospital during the period of 14 years from 1946 to 1959. Eleven cases have been found at Oshinara, Nawamachi, Saihaku-gun, Tottori prefecture. The incidence of the infection with T. saginata is high among the grownups in both men and women. The infection may occur when raw or inadequately boiled or broiled meat is eaten. There was a marked increase in the incidence of infection with T. saginata immediately after the end of the war. Determination of the infection should be based not merely on the detection of eggs in stools but also on form of the uterus in each segment of the worm of adult form. Most of those under study harbored one worm. The infection was attended by such subjective symptoms as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and intestinal sound, and such objective symptoms as abdominal tenderness, enlargement of the liver, anemic complexion, and irregular pulse. No marked anemic symptoms were found in general, and there was disturbance of liver function in some cases. If no worms are found in stools during the 3 months after the worms have been expelled, the patient may be considered entirely free from infection with T. stginata. The juice of the nut of Torreya nucifera obtained by crushing it or its extract, originally used by Miwa and Nagashima, is the most effective teniafuge available at present.
