Abstract

Fasciolia spp. are common trematode infestations worldwide. Fasciolia spp. maylead to hepatic diseases in the acute phase and may cause biliary diseases inthe chronic phase. In addition, Fasciolia spp. may rarely cause extrahepatic signsand symptoms. The clinical manifestations of fascioliasis are divided into threegroups: typical, atypical, and ectopic. Eosinophilic pneumonia is an atypicalpresentation of acute fascioliasis and it has been reported very rarely. Herein,we report a boy with marked blood eosinophilia and eosinophilic pneumoniawho was diagnosed with fascioliasis by serologic tests and abdominal USG.The patient recovered completely following triclabendazole treatment
