Symptoma

Fasciola Gigantica

Here, we report the case of Fasciola gigantica presenting with biliary obstruction and abdominal pain that was diagnosed and treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Swelling

    However, there were limited movements and some blebbing, swelling, deposition of tegumental secretions and some flattening displayed by the flukes of 48h post-treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Scanning electron microscopy examination of these flukes revealed evidence of swelling of the tegument that showed regional variation in its severity. Loss of spines was also observed. [new.puj.eg.net]

    In August 2002, she felt pain on her knee associated with a reddish, itchy, and inflamed swelling. [doi.org]

  • Vietnamese

    BLAST searches of the GenBank sequence database and comparisons with our own data clearly demonstrated that the flukes from the Vietnamese patients were pure Fasciola gigantica. [doi.org]

  • Anorexia

    Biliary fascioliasis was diagnosed in a woman from Angthong province, who presented herself with anorexia, weight loss, and jaundice for one month. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Sputum

    An example has been set by the sequencing of DNA from eggs, recovered from human sputum, of Paragonimus westermani ( 3 ). Rapid real-time PCR assays can also be devised. [doi.org]

  • Dizziness

    The fever and dizziness returned. The patient was admitted to the Quang Binh provincial hospital, diagnosed as having abscess of the right breast and given prazepam (Centrax) (three vials [1 g/vial] per day for 15 days) for anxiety. [doi.org]

  • Paragonimus Westermani

    An example has been set by the sequencing of DNA from eggs, recovered from human sputum, of Paragonimus westermani ( 3 ). Rapid real-time PCR assays can also be devised. [doi.org]

Flukes obtained from 24h post-treatment did not show any apparent change and were still very active. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment with nitroxynil may be an effective replacement for therapy with TCBZ in cases of resistance. [new.puj.eg.net]

Post-treatment faecal sample collection was done on the day of treatment and again at 7, 14 and 28 days, from each cattle. The samples were processed by Flukefinder method to recover and identify eggs. [research-information.bristol.ac.uk]

Elucidating these circulation ways is very critical for understanding the epidemiology and transmission of the disease and being ascertain how animals and humans enter the different liver fluke circulations in this endemic zone. [ijph.tums.ac.ir]

Doubtless, understanding the epidemiology of the parasitic diseases and factors affecting their incidence provides the foundation upon which effective prevention and control programs should be established. [doi.org]

Fasciola infection is both treatable and preventable. Above Images: Left: Fasciola hepatica egg in an unstained wet mount (400x magnification). F. hepatica eggs are broadly ellipsoidal, operculated, and measure 130–150 μm by 60–90 µm. [cdc.gov]
