Abstract

Fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease that is acquired by ingestion of the metacercaria form on uncooked aquatic plants, and humans act as an accidental host. Diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of the parasites or evidence of them in the feces and serology. In the absence of these data, delays or misdiagnosis may occur since it may mimic many diseases. In this report, we present a case in a non-endemic area with non-specific findings who was diagnosed with ultrasonography.

Keywords: Fasciola hepatica, radyoloji, paraziter hastalıklar.
