Neglected Human Fascioliasis Case in a Visceral Leishmaniasis Endemic Area, North-Western Iran

Ardabil Province, northwestern Iran, is endemic for visceral leishmaniasis of Mediterranean type from many years ago. This situation might cause to underestimate other important diseases, which occur sporadically within the same area. In this case, a 6-year-old male patient in this area was treated...

description Ardabil Province, northwestern Iran, is endemic for visceral leishmaniasis of Mediterranean type from many years ago. This situation might cause to underestimate other important diseases, which occur sporadically within the same area. In this case, a 6-year-old male patient in this area was treated as infected with visceral leishmaniasis initially with seropositive result for visceral leishmaniasis. Afterwards, histopathological study of crashed material and tissue sections surprisingly revealed numerous liver fasciolid fluke eggs. This case demonstrates that in an area endemic for a given parasitoses, other important infectious diseases must be considered as well.
