| Core Tip |
Hepatic fascioliasis remains a significant yet under-recognized cause of morbidity, particularly in endemic regions. Its variable presentations, prolonged clinical course, and limited clinician awareness—coupled with constrained access to serologic testing—often lead to misdiagnosis (e.g., as malignancy or bacterial abscess). This results in unnecessary costs and delayed treatment. A high index of clinical suspicion, a thorough inquiry about exposure and travel history, recognition of characteristic imaging findings, and correlation with eosinophilia are critical for a timely diagnosis. Early empiric treatment, which is simple and cost-effective, can prevent invasive procedures and reduce the patient burden. |
