Abstract

Fascioliasis, a zoonotic trematode caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica (liver fluke),
is primarily a disease of herbivorous animals as sheep and cattle. Humans become accidental infected
by ingesting uncooked contaminated aquatic plants such as watercress or water.
The study enrolled 135 proven fascioliasis patients diagnosed clinically, laboratory, and serologically,
from MOH Fever Hospital and Assiut University Hospitals (Internal Medicine, Children
and Al Rajhy) in period from October 2018 to September 2019.
The results showed that patients were from Manfalut City suburbs, urban areas (88.9%) with
ages ranged between 13 & 69 (45.98±22.14) years and (57.8%) were females. The high infection
rate in adults (63%) aged 25-64years with significant relations between eosinophilia and
Fasciola antibody titer, as well as HFL and Fasciola extraction with ERCP.
