dc.description.abstractIntroduction: We aimed to analyze the approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with fascioliasis in light of current literature. Methodology: Thirty-nine patients with fascioliasis admitted to the Surgery Clinic of Dicle Medical Faculty (Turkey) were included in this study. The demographic, clinical, diagnostic, treatment and outcome data were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Abdominal pain (n = 37; 95%) and eosinophilia (n = 31; 79%) were the most common findings. Twenty-seven patients were diagnosed by clinical and radiological findings. Patients were treated with triclabendazole. Thirty-six (92.4%) of the patients improved after medical treatment. Conclusions: The presence of typical clinical, laboratory and radiological findings is sufficient for diagnosis. Triclabendazole administration is often an effective treatment, with improvements occurring over the course of a few months.en_US
