Clinical Presentation Fasciola spp. infection in humans has two main phases, which may or may not be associated with symptoms or other clinical manifestations. [cdc.gov]
Entire Body System

School Exclusion Policy Children with confirmed fascioliasis should be kept out of school or childcare until they are diarrhea and fever-free. [dshs.state.tx.us]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Jaundice
The symptoms of this phase, such as biliary colic, nausea, intolerance to fatty food, right upper quadrant pain, epigastric pain, obstructive jaundice, and pruritus, are the result of a blockade in the biliary tract and inflammation in the gall bladder [dshs.state.tx.us]

Prevention
Activity Prevention Fascioliasis can be prevented through public education about avoiding consumption of contaminated water plants, water, and raw liver. [emedicine.medscape.com]
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]
Prevention Routine hand washing with soap and warm water. Avoid eating uncooked watercress and other aquatic plants of wild or unknown origin, especially from grazing areas or places where the disease is known to be endemic. [dshs.state.tx.us]
