Human fascioliasis, caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciolagigantica, is a neglected tropical disease of increasing public health significance. Reported cases are rare, with only one serologically confirmed instance in Ethiopia to date. We present the case of a male patient in his late twenties, without identified risk factors, who presented with bilateral upper quadrant pain persisting for a year and a history of repeated treatment for H.

Background: Hepatobiliary fascioliasis has two phases, each requiring specific management approaches. Triclabendazole has been widely effective in treating the two phases of clinical fascioliasis and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the biliary phase. We aimed to characterize presentations of hepatobiliary fascioliasis and highlight the role of ERCP in management.

Here we report biliary fascioliasis in two women 27 and 54 years old from Ardabil Province, Iran who presented with nausea, anorexia, weight loss, and pain between shoulder blades. Endoscopic ultrasound showed distal common bile duct strictures (CBD) and a lesion in its proximal. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed and live parasites were diagnosed and successfully managed into the duodenal lumen.

Fascioliasis is one of the most common foodborne zoonotic infection of ruminants in Bangladesh. To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of fascioliasis and extent of liver damage, 825 livers of sheep and goats were randomly inspected during onsite slaughterhouse visiting in Naogaon, Natore, Rajshahi and Joypurhat districts. The overall prevalence of fascioliasis was 25.
