Abstract

Fasciolasis is a zoonotic infection caused by Fasciola hepatica. This parasite usually infests cattle and sheep. People can become a host of this parasite by ingesting contaminated water and plants in endemic areas. Obstructive jaundice is one of the rare complications caused by this parasite. In this paper, we present a patient with obstructive jaundice caused by Fasciola hepatica, that could not be diagnosed by conventional methods, but diagnosed and treated by ERCP. Obstructive jaundice is a serious clinical problem which is seen frequently. It must be diagnosed and treated immediately. Especially in cases that could not be diagnosed by conventional methods, parasitic infestations such as Fasciola hepatica should be kept in mind, in endemic areas. ERCP plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease and can be used safely in these cases.

Özet

Fasciolasis, Fasciola hepatica'nın neden olduğu zoonotik bir enfestasyondur. Bu parazit genellikle sığır ve koyunlarda enfeksiyona yol açar. Ancak endemik bölgelerde insanlar, kontamine içme suyu ve sebze tüketimi nedeni ile bu parazit için tesadüfen konak olabilmektedir. Tıkanma sarılığı bu parazitin yol açtığı nadir komplikasyonlardandır. Bu yazıda konvansiyonel yöntemlerle tanı koyulamayan fakat endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatografi (ERCP) ile tanı ve tedavisi yapılan Fasciola hepatica'nın neden olduğu bir tıkanma sarılığı olgusu sunulmaktadır. Tıkanma sarılığı sık görülen ciddi bir klinik problemdir. Tanı ve tedavisinde zaman kaybedilmemelidir. Özellikle endemik bölgelerde konvansiyonel yöntemlerle etkeni saptanamayan olgularda Fasciola hepatica gibi paraziter enfestasyonlar akla gelmelidir. Bu gibi olgularda teşhis ve tedavide ERCP önemli rol oynar ve güvenle kullanılmaktadır.
