The incidence of parasitic infections is rising in developed countries and its diagnosis might be challenging. We present the case of a woman diagnosed with a tapeworm infection by capsule endsocopy. Capsule endoscopy may have a role when the microscopic stool examination is negative in patients with non-specific symptoms.
