Autochthonous Human Fascioliasis, Belgium
Emerging Infectious Diseases
|December 20, 2019
Abstract:
We report 2 cases of human fascioliasis (HF) in Belgium, likely caused by consumption of vegetables from a garden that was flooded by pasture runoff. Because autochthonous HF is rare and the route of transmission was unusual, HF was not diagnosed until 6 months after symptom onset in both cases.
