Abstract
Fasciola Hepatica is a trematode that infects cattle and sheep, humans may be infected sporadically. We describe the case of a 43-year-old female who had a history of upper right quadrant pain and fever. Fasciolasis was diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings, laboratory investigations, and imaging studies with ultrasonography and cholangiography. We discuss this condition, and its associated cholangiographic and ultrasonographic features.
Keywords: Fasciola hepatica, ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Özet
Fasciola Hepatica insanlarda sporadik enfeksiyon yapabilen, daha çok kedi ve koyunlarda enfeksiyona neden olan bir trematod'dur. Biz sağ üst kadran ağrısı ve ateş öyküsü olan 43 yaşında bir kadın olgu tanımladık. Klinik bulgular, laboratuar araştırmaları, ultrasonografik ve kolanjigrafik görüntüleme yöntemleri ile Fasciola tanısı konuldu. Bu olguda klinik durum ile ultrasonografik ve kolanjiografik özellikler tartışıldı.
