The present results confirm that DDIHD and IPDE persist but FEFGB decreases significantly at 1 year after treatment. In a heavy endemic area, the sonographic finding of FEFGB may suggest active clonorchiasis 1 year after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma caused by clonorchiasis (CICC) has a poor prognosis, and there have been insufficient studies regarding risk and prognostic factors. We aimed to identify CICC-associated factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Light infections may resolve spontaneously within one year, even without treatment. However the prognosis may be grave in patients with heavy infection. Immunocompromised hosts may be at an increased risk of complications. [patient.info]

This practice must be strictly eliminated to prevent Clonorchiasis What is the Prognosis of Clonorchiasis? (Outcomes/Resolutions) A proper and timely diagnosis and treatment can lead to a good prognosis. [dovemed.com]

Association of C. sinensis infection with CCA CCA, usually with poor prognosis, is a primary hepatic malignancy arising from bile duct epithelium and ranks the second most common primary hepatic malignancy[ 73 – 75 ]. [idpjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Cholangiocarcinoma was related to clonorchiasis, which suggested an etiological role for the parasite. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(Etiology) Clonorchiasis is a foodborne infection caused by Clonorchis sinensis or Chinese liver fluke, a parasitic worm which grows and resides in the bile ducts of the liver in humans and fish-eating mammals. [dovemed.com]

By analysis of epidemiological data, we found that the ecologic environment was favorable for the epidemiology of clonorchiasis. Most patients with clonorchiasis were lack of knowledge about the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clonorchiasis pathophysiology Clonorchiasis is infection with the liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis. Infection is acquired by eating undercooked freshwater fish. [omicsonline.org]

In this article, the radiologic findings, including cholangiography, sonography, and CT of clonorchiasis are reviewed in light of the pathophysiology of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology Adult forms of C. sinensis live in the bile ducts. Eggs are passed in the stool and ingested by snails. Cercariae (free-swimming larvae) released from infected snails subsequently infect a variety of freshwater fish. [merckmanuals.com]

Praziquantel is the treatment of choice and has been considered for preventive chemotherapy. Tribendimidine showed good safety and therapeutic profiles in phase 2 trials and warrants further investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
