A Rare Cause of Diarrhea in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Dipylidium caninum.

Abstract
We report the first case of dipylidiasis in a kidney transplant recipient. Watery diarrhea due to Dipylidium caninum was observed in a male patient who had been undergone kidney transplantation 2 years before. The patient was successfully treated with niclosamide. D. caninum should be considered as an agent of diarrhea in transplant patients.
