Abstract

Athough few case reports of human fascioliasis have been reported from different parts of India, there is no case reported from Kashmir valley till date. Here in we report two cases of human fascioliasis. The both patients presented with fever, marked eosinophilia and liver leisions on imaging. Hepatobiliary imaging showed vague features like mild biliary dilatation and liver leisions representing burrows. Liver biopsy in one of the patients revealed eosinophilic granuloma. Both patients were diagnosed definitively with endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) by demonstrating live adult fasciola worms. Any patient presenting with fever, marked eosinophilia and liver leisions on imaging should be evaluated for fascioliasis.
