The patient presented with complaints of abdominal pain and was found on imaging to have clonorchiasis infestation of the bile ducts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A case of clonorchiasis with clinical presentation of eosinophilic pneumonia. Tuberculosis and Resp dis 46:643–6481998. [kjim.org]

When these symptoms do occur, they usually are present for 2 to 4 weeks, with eggs becoming detectable in stool after 3 to 4 weeks. Peripheral eosinophilia may be present in some patients. [statpearls.com]

• Infertility

  Previous investigations have showed that tektins are involved in sperm motility and human male infertility [28]. Taken together, these results suggest that many genes in Classes A and B could have sex-related functions. [doi.org]

• Liver Fibrosis

  The pathogenesis of liver fibrosis caused by viruses and alcohol has been well characterized, but the molecular mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis induced by the liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis are poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  BACKGROUND: Clonorchiasis, caused by the infection of Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), is a kind of neglected tropical disease, but it is highly related to cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Stroke

  C. sinensis infestation which is endemic in East Asian countries should be considered as a cause of multiple microembolic stroke associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Entamoeba Histolytica

  Eggs of C. sinensis and trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica were observed in the stool. Treatment with praziquantel followed by metronidazole and tinidazole reduced abnormalities in the liver and eosinophilia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Small Liver

  Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini are clinically important small liver flukes because of their known association with development of cholangiocarcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cure rates and egg reduction rates were assessed, and adverse events were monitored after treatments. Uncured patients accepted the second treatment with the same drugs after the first treatment. RESULTS: 156 patients were eligible for the study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is not clear whether or not clonorchiasis was etiologically related to HCC, but it was of interest that in both cases the tumor nodule was very small representing the primary lesion without metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eosinophilic lung diseases have been given variable names on the basis of etiology, clinical manifestation, and their pathophysiology. [kjim.org]

It can be tested from three aspects: First, etiology check. Clonorchis suck eggs are found in feces, which is the only apparent evidence of Clonorchis. In general the eggs can be found after one month of infection. [technologynetworks.com]

These parasites, when present with a large parasite burden in humans, can have serious complications if not found and treated. [1] [2] Etiology Causes of clonorchiasis are mostly limited to the ingestion of fish that are encysted with C. sinensis in endemic [statpearls.com]

Detection of this parasite from the second intermediate host, the freshwater fish is the common method for epidemiological surveys of this parasite, but is time consuming, labour intensive and easily leads to misdiagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiological investigation therefore currently relies on morphological examination of adult worms following expulsion chemotherapy. [researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au]

Here we discuss the comparative epidemiology of these three taxa comparing in detail the use of first, second and final animal hosts, and consider the potential role of humans in spreading these pathogens. [pubag.nal.usda.gov]

These findings provide new insights into the pathophysiological role of C. sinensis excretory-secretory products in host chronic inflammatory processes, which are initial events in hepatobiliary diseases. [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]

It is estimated in Asia that nearly 6000 people die from complications of C. sinensis infection each year. [4] [2] Pathophysiology C. sinensis is one of the most common parasitic infections in the world. [statpearls.com]
