Abstract
Human trichuriasis is an intestinal nematode infection of which the responsible agent is trichuris trichiura. This whipworm infestation is preferentially found in tropical areas, closely related with faecal peril and poverty. Clinical manifestations are abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dysentery, rectal prolapsus, rarely colonic obstruction or perforation when the trichuriasis is massive. Diagnosis is easy by eggs evidence in the parasitic stool examination. The benzimidazol-based therapy is now the most effective and well tolerated treatment.
