Definizione

La teniasi è l’infestazione dell’uomo da Taenia solium la cui larva si trova nella carne di maiale. Nel caso di T. saginata l’ospite intermedio è costituito da bovini.

Eziologia

  1. La forma adulta di “Taenia solium” vive nell’intestino dell’uomo che è il solo ospite definitivo; si trova generalmente un solo verme da cui il nome di verme solitario, che misura 3-5 metri di lunghezza; possiede uno scolice globoso con un rostro apicale di una ventina di uncini, da dove il nome di “tenia armata”.
  2. Le uova sono eliminate nelle feci con gli ultimi anelli; questi si decompongono nel terreno e le uova sono ingerite dal maiale (ospite intermedio); si trasformano in larve o cisticerchie che si fissano nei muscoli striati; queste infestazioni del maiale costituiscono la cisticercosi. I cisticerchi sono di un bianco grigiastro, opalescente, hanno circa 1 cm di diametro e contengono uno scolice invaginato.
  3. L”uomo è infestato con l’ingestione di carne di maiale che contiene i cisticerchi.

 

 



 

Epidemiologia

La Tenia solium è diventata rara nei paesi industrializzati per merito del controllo veterinario della carne. L’affezione è ancora diffusa in numerosi paesi in via di sviluppo dove si mangia carne di maiale cruda o insufficientemente cotta.

 

Sintomi

La teniasi è spesso asintomatica o presenta sintomi generici ai quali viene data scarsa importanza. Il soggetto affetto da teniasi presenta una fame considerevole e ingerisce grosse quantità di cibo. La Taenia assorbe circa il 5% del cibo ingerito, in particolare vitamine, questo porta il soggetto a dimagrire e accusare stanchezza e debolezza.

Altri sintomi sono: dolori addominali, nausea, alternanza di stipsi e diarrea.

 



 

 

Esami di laboratorio

La messa in evidenza delle uova nelle feci non permette di distinguere la Taenia solium dalla Taenia saginata perchè bisogna poter esaminare un anello o lo scolice.

Prevenzione

Il controllo veterinario e la cottura sufficiente della carne di maiale è la terapia immediata per prevenire la cisticercosi umana.

Trattamento

Farmaci: mebendazolo od altri principi attivi contro i platelminti. I farmaci staccando la testa del parassita dalla parete dell’intestino dell’ospite, favoriscono l’allontanamento dello stesso tramite l’evacuazione.
