Abstract

GONZALEZ TIELVES, Marilín et al. Fascioliasis. A two-case report. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.2, pp. 311-319. ISSN 1561-3194.

Base: Fascioliasis is a zoonosis that maintains its frequent onset. The rate of recurrence of the human infection has been underestimated in the last years; however case reports remain and only some onsets of variable evolution associated with the consumption of vegetables or contaminated waters are reported. Clinical Case: two cases presenting a marked eosinophilia and the epidemiological history of watercress consumption and/or other potentially contaminated vegetables are crucial elements to be considered to establish the appropriate diagnosis of this disease.

Keywords : Zoonosis [classification].
