LIVER FASCIOLISIS AS A RE-EMERGENCY DISEASE

Abstract

 Fascioliasis is a helminthiasis that occurs with damage to the hepatobiliary system and is characterized by a long-term chronic course. Pathogens: Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. At the stage of sexual maturity, fasciola parasitize humans and many herbivores, including sheep, goats, cattle, and less commonly pigs, horses, and dogs. The lifespan of fasciola in humans reaches 10 years or more. According to WHO, about 2.4 million people are currently affected by fascioliasis, and 180 million people live in areas where there is a high risk of contracting it. The development cycle of the pathogen and the geographic distribution of the disease are described. The pathogenesis of fascioliasis and the clinical picture of the disease are presented. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fascioliasis, treatment are described.

Keywords
