Fascioliasis

Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic infection of the hepatobiliary system caused by the ingestion of larvae from the digenean trematodes *Fasciola hepatica* or *Fasciola gigantica*, typically contracted via contaminated freshwater plants or water Following ingestion, immature flukes penetrate the intestinal wall and migrate through the peritoneal cavity into the liver parenchyma during the acute or hepatic phase, leading to localized tissue necrosis, fever, right upper quadrant pain, hepatomega...

Following ingestion, immature flukes penetrate the intestinal wall and migrate through the peritoneal cavity into the liver parenchyma during the acute or hepatic phase, leading to localized tissue necrosis, fever, right upper quadrant pain, hepatomegaly, and pronounced eosinophilia In the subsequent chronic or biliary phase, adult flukes reside and mature within the major bile ducts, where their presence and mechanical irritation can provoke chronic inflammation, biliary colic, ductal obstructi...
