Human Fascioliasis: Report of Two Cases from Kashmir Valley

Although few case reports of human fascioliasis have been reported from different parts of India, there is no case reported from the Kashmir valley to date. Herein we report two cases of human fascioliasis. Both patients presented with fever, marked eosinophilia, and liver lesions on imaging. Hepatobiliary imaging showed vague features like mild biliary dilatation and liver lesions representing burrows. A liver biopsy in one of the patients revealed eosinophilic granuloma. Both patients were diagnosed definitively with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by demonstrating live adult fasciola worms. Any patient presenting with fever, marked eosinophilia, and liver lesions on imaging should be evaluated for fascioliasis.
