Abstract

Introduction: Fasciola hepatica infection is frequently asymptomatic and may be neglected. However, severe conditions may be symptomatic due to stimulatory effects of the liver fluke in the liver. Case Presentation: The present report describes a rare case of fascioliasis accidentally discovered in the explanted liver of a patient with cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Conclusions: Liver fluke infection may occur in cirrhotic livers. Thus, minute evaluation of liver explants for possible parasitic infestations including F. hepatica is suggested, particularly in endemic areas. © 2017, Author(s).
