Case in brief

A series of six cases of fascioliasis were identified in eastern India, where patients presented with acute symptoms including fever and abdominal pain. Imaging revealed liver abscesses, and diagnosis was confirmed through dietary history and detection of Fasciola eggs in stool. All patients were successfully treated with Triclabendazole or Nitazoxanide.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should consider fascioliasis in patients presenting with liver abscesses, especially with a relevant dietary history of consuming undercooked aquatic vegetation.
