Overview
Patients with diphyllobothriasis are usually asymptomatic but may be irritated. Physical examination of patients with diphyllobothriasis is usually remarkable for abdominal tenderness, pale conjunctiva/skin, and decreased vibration and position senses.[1][2][3]
Physical Examination
Appearance of the patient
Patients with diphyllobothriasis usually have a normal appearance but may appear thin.
Vital signs
Vital signs in patients with diphyllobothriasis are usually normal but may have:
Skin
The patients with diphyllobothriasis may have:
HEENT
The patients with diphyllobothriasis may have:
- Pale conjunctiva
- Yellow sclera (as the result of biliary tract involvement)
Abdomen
The patients with diphyllobothriasis may have:
