Initial Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Hepatic Fascioliasis and Serological and Radiological Response After Triclabendazole Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Fascioliasis, a food-borne trematodiasis, is a disease primarily identified in livestock, such as sheep and cattle. Human fascioliasis has been reported sporadically in Korea, but a recent increase in patients has been associated with a green vegetable juice delivery service. We aimed to investigate the serological and radiological findings of the patients treated for fascioliasis. Patients with peripheral eosinophilia, which is a positive antibody for Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) and liver abscess, were considered to have fascioliasis and were treated with triclabendazole at a dose of 10 mg/kg, administered twice. A total of 21 patients diagnosed with fascioliasis were included. Patients were categorized into the early and late diagnosis groups according to the time gap between the pre
