Combining Liver and Stomach Damage of Clonorchis Sinensis. A Clinical Case
The article describes a patient with a parasitic disease caused by Clonorchis sinensis, whose colonies can develop not only in the bile and pancreatic ducts, but also in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. This is con- ﬁ rmed by the described clinical case complicated by a gastric perforation ulcer and liver abscess. In a morphological study of the macropreparate (stomach wall), parasite colonies were found. The presented results and their discussion, suggest that: 1) in a disease caused by Clonorchis sinensis, parasite colonies can develop not only in the bile and pancreatic ducts, but also in other GI organs; 2) clinical diagnosis of Clonorchis sinensis is diﬃcult due to the non-speciﬁcity of symptoms under whose mask the disease occurs; 3) a diagnosis of Clonorchis sinensis can be established by morphological examination resected for a developed gastric complication.
