HEMATOMA SUBCAPSULAR HEPATICO POR FASCIOLASIS HEPATIC SUBCAPSULAR HEMATOMA CAUSED BY FASCIOLIASIS

Abstract

La fasciolasis hepática es una zoonosis mundialmente difundida, sobre todo en los países productores de ganado; causada por la fasciola hepática. Se manifiesta por dolor abdominal, fiebre, náuseas y vómitos, baja de peso, diarrea, palidez, malestar general e hipereosinofilia. El diagnóstico es inmunológico y también puede hacerse por recuento de huevos en heces. El hematoma subcapsular e intraparenquimatoso hepático es una complicación rara de la fasciolasis humana pero se debe tener un alto índice de sospecha uniendo epidemiología, clínica, laboratorio e imaginologia para un adecuado diagnóstico y tratamiento. El propósito de reportar estos casos es dar a conocer una patología poco frecuente en la literatura, con una casuística de cuatro pacientes tratados en el lapso de dos años, todos referidos del Departamento de Cajamarca: Hepatic fasciolasis is a worldwide spread zoonoses mainly affecting cattle-raising countries. It is caused by the trematode Fasciola hepática and it is characterized by abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomitus, weight loss, diahrrea, paleness, general malaise, and hypereosinophilia. Immunological diagnosis as well as stool eggs count may be performed. Hepatic subcapsular and intraparenchymatous hematoma is an infrequent complication of human fascioliasis. Nevertheless, for establishing a proper diagnosis and treatment, any suspicion of its presence must be carefully discarded through, clinical epidemiology, laboratory and imaging exams and procedures. The aim of this study is to expand knowledge on this unfrequently dealt pathology in medical literature by presenting four case reports related to patients undergoing a two-year treatment. All of them had been referred from Departamento de Cajamarca, Peru
