Humans get infected by: >eating uncooked fish containing the infective metacercaria > ingestion of the cysts in drinking water


• PATHOLOGY

• distal bile ducts are irritated mechanically and by its toxic secretions

• slight leukocytosis and eosinophilia in early infection

• enlarged tender liver

• bile ducts thicken and become dilated and tortuous

• adenomatous proliferation of the biliary epithelium

• fibrosis and destruction of hepatic parenchyma

• liver function is impaired although SGPT and SGOT are normal


• SYMPTOMATOLOGY

• Light Infections – produce only mild symptoms or

go unnoticed

• Moderate Infections – indigestion– Epigastric discomfort unrelated

to meals– weakness – loss of weight

• Heavy infections– complicated by cholelethiasis

and bouts of pyogenic cholangitis


• CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS• suggestive in patients from

endemic areas with: – history of eating uncooked

fish– symptoms of biliary tract

disease • intermittent jaundice • bouts of fever • right upper quadrant pain

• LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS• finding the characteristic

eggs in the feces or biliary drainage or duodenal aspiration

• eggs to be differentiated from opistorchid and heterophyid flukes


• TREATMENT• chloroquine diphosphate • praziquantel

Heavy infections complicatedby obstructive jaundice:

1. cholecystectomy with 2. choledocholithotomy3. exploration of the common duct4. drainage procedure such as

sphincteroplasty or choledochoduodenostomy

• PREVENTION AND CONTROL

• thorough cooking of all freshwater fish

• sterilization of human feces by storage or by the addition of ammonium sulfate

• Human and animal feces should not be disposed in bodies of water.

ADULT

Bithynia funiculata

• PATHOLOGY

• inflammatory and proliferative changes of the biliary epithelium

• fibrosis of the distal biliary vessels

• pathologic changes may extend to the proximal

bile ducts and gallbladder periportal fibrosis


• SYMPTOMATOLOGY• Light Infections

– Asymptomatic

• Moderate Infections– moderate, painful

enlargement of the liver– passive congestion of the

spleen– Icterus– local eosinophilia in the wall

of the bile ducts

• Heavy Infections• invade the pancreas with digestive

disturbances• bile stones may form around eggs as

nuclei and cause cholecystitis with colic

• loss of appetite as patient becomes toxic

• scar tissue around the bile ducts encroaches on liver cells and portal vessels ---- collateral venous circulation, edema of the face and limbs and at times ascitis









• TREATMENT• praziquantel

• PATHOLOGY • dilatation and thickening of

bile duct walls

• presence of stones and sludge in the gallbladder

• hyperplastic biliary epithelium from presence of worms

• further stimulated by nitrosamines in local fermented foods or by nitrosocompounds produced by activated

• macrophages in chronically affected tissues

• striking association with cholangiocarcinoma


• SYMPTOMATOLOGY• Light to Moderate

Infections a few symptoms

Heavy Infections• abdominal distress• epigastric pain• generalized malaise








• Ultrasonography to screen the presence of cholangiocarcinoma

Fasciola hepatica(sheep liver fluke)

Natural definitive hosts:herbivorous animals like sheep.

MAN IS AN ACCIDENTAL HOST.

ADULT

PATHOLOGY

Acute Or Invasive Phase period during which the fluke migrates from the intestine to the liver and its burrowing through the liver parenchyma

no significant change from the intestine to the liver Parasite may wander or be carried by blood after penetrating a blood vessel to ectopic sites such as lungs, subcutaneous Tissues, brain and the orbit ---- abscesses or fibrotic lesions

Migration to the liver parenchyma traumatic and necrotic lesions

Chronic Or Latent Phase period when the parasite has already reached the bile ducts

a. obstruction in the vessel

b. inflammatory and adenomatous changes of the biliary epithelium

c. fibrosis of the ducts

d. pressure atrophy of the liver parenchyma

e. intensive periductal fibrosis

f. Heavy infections 1. erosion of the epithelium 2. young worms wander back into the liver to produce abscess pockets and to seed the vital liver tissue with their eggs

Symptomatology

1. colic and obstructive jaundice2. coughing and vomiting3. generalized abdominal rigidity4. acute epigastric pain and tenderness5. urticaria6. early leukocytosis and eosinophilia7. irregular fever8. more or less persistent diarrhea9. marked anemia10.hemoglobinuria11.cholelithiasis – common complication

PHARYNGEAL FASCIOLIASIS OR HALZOUN

due to ingestion of infected raw sheep and goat livers Adult worm lodges temporarily in the pharyngeal mucosa causing:

>edematous congestion of the soft palate, pharynx, larynx, nasal fossae, Eustachian tube ------ suffocation

>dyspnea

>deafness

>asphyxiation

DIAGNOSIS

Clinical – based on1. biliary symptoms2. moderate to high eosinophilia3. eating watercress as a green salad

(metacercaria in vegetation)

Laboratory 1. recovery of the eggs in the patient’s stool or from duodenal or biliary tract drainage 2. serodiagnosis – helpful but not adapted for routine diagnosis

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

1. acute hepatitis of other etiology2. cholecystitis

3. cholelithiasis 4. cirrhosis resulting from other causes

False fascioliasis – due to ingestion of infected liverswith passage of eggs in the feces Keep the patient on a liver free diet for 3 days or more False fascioliasis – eggs no longer seen True fascioliasis – eggs can still be seen

Treatment

1. bithionol (dichlorophenol) 2. dehydroemetine hydrochloride3. emetine hydrochloride 4. hexachloroparaxylene 5. praziquantel

PREVENTION AND CONTROL

1. thorough washing or cooking of vegetables

2. boiling of water in areas where the infection is endemic (metacercaria in vegetation)

3. elimination of the snail intermediate hosts

4. killing the parasites in the reservoir hosts by chemotherapy

Fasciola gigantica(Giant Liver Fluke)

Flat, leaf shaped more elongated

cephalic cone is shorter and less prominent

shoulders are practically lacking

ventral sucker is larger

Highly branched intestinal ceca

and testes (more anterior)

Dicrocoelium dendriticum(Lancet fluke)

ADULT

Eggs are deep golden- brownthick shelled, distinctly operculated, measuring 38 to 45 u by 22 to 30 u containing a fully developed miracidium.

Pathology- same as Fasciola hepatica

1. in animalsa. enlargement of the bile ducts

b. hyperplasia of the biliary epithelium c. formation of the periductal fibrous connective tissue d. atrophy of the liver cells e. portal cirrhosis in heavy infections

2. in humans a. hepatic changes are less pronounced

Symptomatology

In Humansa. digestive disturbancesb. flatulence

c. vomiting d. biliary colic e. chronic constipation or diarrhea f. enlarged liver g. systemic toxemia less pronounced that in fascioliasis

LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS

1. finding the eggs consistently in the feces and duodenal drainage

2. eliminate spurious infections from eating livers containing the eggs

TREATMENT – same as Clonorchis sinensis

1. praziquantel – 25 mg per kg TID for 2 consecutive days

PREVENTION AND CONTROL

2. no effective measures of control3. Fresh herbs collected from grazing areas for use as food for humans should be washed to remove the ants.
