Study Notes
Fascioliasis
- Fascioliasis is an infection of the liver and biliary tract by one of two species: Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica.
Intermediate Host for Fasciola gigantica
- The snail species Galba truncatula serves as the intermediate host for Fasciola gigantica.
Acute Phase of Fascioliasis
- Patients present with fever, right upper quadrant pain, eosinophilia, and tender hepatomegaly during the acute phase.
Chronic Phase of Fascioliasis
- Patients may develop conditions such as bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, and liver fibrosis in the chronic phase.
Halzoun Disease
- Halzoun disease is caused by the ingestion of raw liver of infected sheep, resulting in pharyngeal mucosa attachment and suffocation.
- Geographical distribution areas of Halzoun disease include the Middle East and Mediterranean regions.
Heterophyasis
- The host for Heterophyasis is humans.
- The mode of infection for Heterophyasis is through the consumption of raw or undercooked fish.
- Clinical symptoms of severe infection of Heterophyasis include intestinal obstruction and perforation.
- Diagnosis of Heterophyasis is confirmed through stool examination and endoscopy.
- Treatment for Heterophyasis involves praziquantel and niclosamide.
Acute Fascioliasis Diagnosis and Treatment
