Abstract:
Fascioliasis has been reported from many countries across the globe. Acute phase of liver fluke is characterised by fever, abdominal pain and peripheral blood eosinophilia while the chronic phase is marked by chronic inflammation involving biliary tract. It is commonly diagnosed by a radiologist due to characteristic branching abscesses seen on CT scan, highly suggestive of liver fluke. Diagnosis is made by demonstration of eggs on direct microscopic examination of duodenal aspirate or bile. Screening of family members is recommended once diagnosis is has been made. Triclabendazole is the drug of choice for treatment.
