Methods The patient was young woman, self-employed, and had a history of eating raw beef. She had intermittent abdominal pain for half a year, and white strip worms were found to have defecated. Species identification was carried out according to the morphological characteristics of the segments. According to the worm body by naked eyes, the part of worm body and ovum morphology under microscope, the diagnosis was made based on clinical manifestations and combined with the history of epidemiology. Results The parasite excreted by the patient was diagnosed with Taenia Saginata infection by morphological identification. Traditional Chinese medicine areca and pumpkin seeds were used to carry out deworming treatment, and the treatment was successful. The patient was not reinfected through follow up. Conclusion People are mostly infected with Taeniasis by eating beef containing live cysticercus, and people are generally susceptible. With the improvement of environmental, Taeniasis is rarely.
