What major complication can arise from the migration of immature flukes in Fasciola infections? A) Obstruction of bile ducts B) Renal failure C) Respiratory distress D) Muscle degeneration
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the major complications that can arise from the migration of immature flukes in infections caused by Fasciola, a type of parasitic infection. We need to identify which of the listed options is recognized as a significant complication associated with this condition.
Answer
Obstruction of bile ducts
The final answer is Obstruction of bile ducts
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Obstruction of bile ducts
More Information
The migration of immature flukes in Fasciola infections can lead to the obstruction of bile ducts, primarily due to their physical presence and feeding activity, causing serious complications like cholangitis and cholelithiasis.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the complications arising in the migration phase with those in the mature infective phase; focus on the migration specific issues.
