“…Abdominal USG provides information, especially in the biliary stage of the disease. Biliary dilation, bile duct wall thickening, and periductal fibrosis are common findings (9,10). In our case, the first abdominal USG, probably performed at the end of the first stage of disease, was not specific for diagnosis.…”

Fasciolosis is a rare cause of hepatobiliary system infections and caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. It primarily infects sheeps or goats, and humans are accidental hosts. On laboratory findings, marked eosinophilia is present in most of the cases. Here, we report a case of fasciolosis without eosinophilia who was presented as sepsis and responded to therapy in second dose of triclabendazole. Sepsis like clinical presentation has been reported in few cases. Forty-eight year old female patient presented with high fever, abdominal pain, hypotension and tachycardia. The patient was considered as sepsis secondary to liver abscess, which was demonstrated on the initial abdominal ultrasonography (USG) findings. Therefore, empirical antibiotic therapy was started. Due to failure of the treatment, the image was found to be compatible with fasciolosis on control magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and USG. On detailed anamnesis, history of eating watercress was learned and the diagnosis of fasciolosis was confirmed by serological tests. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2014; 38: 131-4)

“…Especially hypodense nodules, subcapsular hemorrhage and parenchymal calcification can be visualized on CT. Ultrasonography is more useful in the chronic (biliary) phase of the disease (12,13). In the radiologic evaluation of our patients, imaging with CT was used only in our second case, and multiple hypodense lesions were detected.…”

“…The characteristic ERCP findings are linear, or filamentous, curved or angled, motile filling defects located in the bile duct and irregularities on the inner surface of the bile ducts (15). Ultrasonography especially provides useful information (19). Hepatic lesions produced by migration of the trematodes are hypoechoic nodules and cystic lesions on ultrasound.…”
