We report a case of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense infection in a 2-year-old Japanese girl. When infection occurs in early childhood, it is necessary to offer supportive care in addition to standard treatment with oral praziquantel or with of a duodenal tube using a radiopaque contrast medium. We treated D. nihonkaiense infection in a 2-year-old girl successfully treated with oral praziquantel and a laxative.
