A case of acute Clonorchis sinensis infection presented with fever and rash, highlighting diagnostic challenges. Prompt praziquantel treatment was effective, preventing long-term complications of this common parasitic disease.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis) infection, or clonorchiasis, is a foodborne parasitic disease endemic in Southeast Asia.
  • While often asymptomatic, acute infections can manifest with severe symptoms, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 3-week history of fluctuating fever, rash, malaise, and right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort.
  • Clinical evaluation confirmed acute C. sinensis infection.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms resolved following treatment with praziquantel.
  • This case underscores that acute clonorchiasis, though typically asymptomatic, can present with significant clinical manifestations.

Implications:

  • Increased global travel and migration necessitate heightened physician awareness of clonorchiasis in non-endemic regions.
  • Effective treatment with praziquantel is crucial for managing acute infections and preventing chronic sequelae such as biliary tract cancer.
