dc.description.abstractBleeding is a very rare complication of Fasciola species ( F. hepatica or F. gigantica ) infection. We present here three cases of subcapsular liver bleeding caused by the hepatic phase of Fasciola spp. infection in patients, two of whom were women, aged 22, 66, and 84 years in Diyarbakir Province, southeastern Turkey. They had symptoms of right upper quadrant pain (n = 3), nausea (n = 1), and vomiting (n = 2) for periods ranging from 6 hours to 15 days. All patients with clinical presentations ranging from moderate abdominal pain to hypovolemic shock and ischemic hepatitis were improved with supportive treatment without the need for surgery. They showed complete clinical and laboratory recovery after triclabendazole administration in their follow-up. In conclusion, Fasciola spp . infection should be considered in the etiology of bleeding from liver disease.en_US
