摘要

片形吸虫病,一种由肝吸虫引起的疾病。它是被忽视的人畜共患疾病之一。埃塞俄比亚只有少数片形吸虫病的报告,到目前为止还没有以肝外表现为主的病例报告。我们报告一个病例的年轻女子,谁提出了两个星期的干咳和全身瘙痒。她的检查显示明显的嗜酸性粒细胞增多和多发、低密度和低血管性肝脏病变。酶联试验显示肝片形吸虫阳性。肝片形吸虫主要表现为肝外表现,在出现荨麻疹、皮疹、咳嗽和嗜酸性粒细胞增多的患者中应予以考虑。

Human fascioliasis: A diagnostic challenge in resource limited setting
Fascioliasis, a disease caused by liver flukes. It is one of the neglected zoonotic diseases. There are only a few reports of fascioliasis from Ethiopia and no case with predominant extrahepatic presentation has been reported so far. We report a case of young woman, who presented with a two weeks of dry cough and generalized pruritus. Her workup revealed marked eosinophilia and multiple, hypodense, and hypovascular hepatic lesions. An enzymelinked assay became positive for Fasciola hepatica. Fasciola hepatica can present with predominant extra hepatic presentation and should be considered in patients presenting with urticaria, skin rash, cough and eosinophilia.
