Recently, Ms. Chen (pseudonym) from Quanzhou, Guilin, Guangxi Province, went to the gastroenterology department of a local hospital for unexplained abdominal distention and nausea.
She told the attending doctor that her upper abdomen had been swelling for 8 days. She used the "earth method" of "cupping" herself, but the pain was not alleviated. Through examination, the doctor initially found that Ms. Chen's bile ducts were dilated, but it was not clear what caused it.
Later, after endoscopic ERCP diagnosis, the doctor found a parasite from Ms. Chen's body. The parasite is fish-like, measuring about 3.5 x 2.0 cm in size, and can swim and is still destructive when removed.
Seeing this strange parasite, the medical staff even claimed to be surprised: "What kind of parasite is this?" To figure out the name and information about the parasite, medical staff gathered information from their medical counterparts across the country.
According to the doctor's introduction, according to the comprehensive judgment of experts such as the Institute of Tropical Diseases of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, the Clinical Laboratory Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, the Institute of Parasitic Diseases of Guangxi Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Laboratory Of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the University of South China, what was removed from Ms. Chen's body was not liver flukes, nor ginger flakes, but liver giant flakes, which are several times larger than liver flukes!
Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment (ERCP) found that hepatic giant flaky trema, at present, there are not many foreign language literature searches around the world, and there are no domestic reports. In the reports of foreign media, the insect body is far less large than the one in Ms. Chen's body.
After learning about the characteristics of the parasite, the hospital carried out targeted minimally invasive and deworming treatment for Ms. Chen. At present, Ms. Chen's abdominal pain and bloating have been significantly alleviated, and her mental state has returned to normal.
According to the doctor, Ms. Chen's liver has been eaten by one-third of the giant flakes of the liver, and the internal and external bile ducts of the liver are also extensively damaged. Because of organ damage, patients are miserable and malnourished. So far, guangxi has only distributed two similar reports, both of which are related to the fact that patients eat cold mixed raw fishy grass.
Doctor's Reminder:
Green onions, horseshoes, raw fish, raw houttuynia cordata, etc. are more likely to stick to the eggs of liver giant flakes of trematodes. The parasite is destructive to the human body, highly toxic, insidious and extremely difficult to diagnose. It is recommended that everyone pay attention to dietary hygiene and eat unclean raw food with caution.
