Pathology
A 45-year-old farmer from a rural area presents to the clinic with complaints of intermittent fever, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Laboratory tests reveal elevated liver enzymes and eosinophilia. Imaging studies show dilated bile ducts with areas of fibrosis. Upon further history-taking, the patient reports frequent consumption of raw watercress from nearby streams.
During examination, you notice symptoms indicative of biliary inflammation. A biopsy of the liver reveals necrotic lesions and fibrosis around the bile ducts. Pathology findings also suggest the presence of migrating larvae causing abscesses in ectopic foci.

- Mechanica/ & Toxic effect
- Traumatic & necrotic lesions
- Migrating larvae may be lodge in ectopic foci, abscesses or fibrosis may develop
- Adult provoke inflammation & adenomatous changes on biliary epithelium with fibrosis of the ducts
A 52-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with complaints of severe right upper quadrant pain, fever, and chills. She describes episodic colic pain and persistent nausea over the past two weeks. Physical examination reveals hepatomegaly and tenderness in the right upper quadrant.
Laboratory tests show elevated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and white blood cell count, consistent with biliary obstruction and inflammation. Imaging studies reveal dilated bile ducts and evidence of cholelithiasis. Further questioning reveals the patient recently traveled to a rural area and consumed undercooked freshwater fish.
F. hepatica
- Signs & symptoms of biliary obstruction & cholangitis
- Chills, fever, right upper quadrant pain, hepatomegaly
- Colic pain & obstructive jaundice, epigastric pain & abdominal tenderness
- Cholelithiasis is relative common complication
- Halzoun (Suffocation) temporary lodgment of adult on pharyngeal mucosa, causing congestion of soft palate, pharynx, larynx & eustachian tube
- Dyspnea, dysphagia or deafness
- False fascioliasis: Ingestion of infected liver
