Psöriyazis ve Diyabetes Mellitus Tanılı Hastada Intestinal Strongyloidosis. Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2014 Jun;38(2):127-30 Authors: Iraz M, Karaman U, Topukçu B, Doymaz MZ Abstract Fasciolosis is a rare cause of hepatobiliary system infections and caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. It primarily infects sheep or goats, and humans are accidental hosts. On laboratory findings, marked eosinophilia is present in most of the cases. Here, we report a case of fasciolosis without eosinophilia who presented with sepsis and responded to therapy with a second dose of triclabendazole. Sepsis-like clinical presentation has been reported in few cases. A 48-year-old female patient presented with high fever, abdominal pain, hypotension, and tachycardia. The patient was considered as sepsis secondary to liver abscess, which was demonstrated on the initial abdominal ultrasonography (USG) findings. Therefore, empirical antibiotic therapy was started. Due to failure of the treatment, the image was found to be compatible with fasciolosis on control magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and USG. On detailed anamnesis, history of eating watercress was learned, and the diagnosis of fasciolosis was confirmed by serological tests. PMID: 25016122 [PubMed - in process]
