Clonorchiasis Sinensis Dept. Of Infectious Disease Shengjing Hospital
2
Intruduction The disease is a kind of chronic parasitosis caused by clonorchis sinensis, which inhabit human intrahepatic ducts Clinical Manifestation: hepatomegaly, vague pain of upper abdomen, lassitude and tiredness The infection is acquired by ingestion of raw or inadequately cooked freshwater fish or shrimp
3
Etiology Morphology Adult worm Flat, elongated worm, with the size 10-15×3-5 mm They are monocious, with two suckers The most characteristic feature is branched testis in the posterior third of the body, and relative small ovary before them Eggs The smallest one of the eggs of human parasites. The sizes are 27.3-35.1×11.7-12.9 m Yellow brown operculated eggs,with a fully embryonated miracidia in it
4
Life Cycle adult worm in human and mammal eaten 1 month eggs into water metacercariae first intermediate host Secocond intermediate host (special snail) (Freshwater fish and shrimp) swallow eggs invade miracidia enter water 2 months cercaria
5
Epidemiology Source of infection: patients, infected reservior hosts:cats, dogs, mice, pigs Route of transmission: the infection is acquired by eating raw or inadequately cooked freshwater fish or shrimp, which are previously infected Susceptibility: human is generally susceptive, related with the dietary habits
6
Pathogenesis Worms mechanical stimulation proliferate inflammatory reaction in the biliary epithelium The wall of the bile ducts thickened,fibrous tissue around the bile duct, and worm obstruction cause cholestasis When bacteria infection occur, cause cholecystitis, cholangeitis, sometimes cholelithiasis happens
7
Pathology Intrahepatic bile ducts expansion, hepatomegaly, necrosis of liver tissue Continuous severe infection may cause liver cirrhosis Persistent Cholestasis cause biliary liver cirrhosis Associate with cholangiocarcinoma and hepatic carcinoma
8
Clinical Manifestation Incubation period: 1-2 months Most person with mild clonorchis sinensis infections are asymptomatic, only eggs can be found in the feces Severe infections: onset is insidious, with intestinal manifestations like viral hepatitis, hepatomegaly, neurasthenia, person with heavy worm loads may suffer from biliary angina and obstructive icteric
9
Clinical Manifestation Acute symptoms appear when the primary infection is heavy: sudden onset, chill, high fever, slight jaundice, hepatomegaly, eosinophilia, a few patients have splenomegaly, and weeks later, enter chronic stage Continuous reinfection: cirrhosis and portal hypertension. In children may cause malnutrition growth development disturbance, even dwarf
10
Complications Acute or chronic cholecystitis, cholangeitis and cholelithiasis are the most common complications Portal liver cirrhosis: portal hepertension result in upper gastrointestinal bleeding Cholestatic cirrhosis Pancreatitis Primary carcinoma of the liver and cholangiocarcinoma
11
Laboratory Findings Blood routine test: eosinophilia, anemia in severe infection Eggs examination: simple smear feces to find eggs Stool concentration technique may increase the positive rate Duodenal aspiration: raise the chance of finding eggs
12
Laboratory Findings Immunological Test Skin test: positive rate 97.9%, 99.5% coincide with the result of the feces PHA: positive rate 53.7%, 80% coincide with the result of the feces ELISA: positive rate 98.3%, 93.5% coincide with the result of the feces
13
Diagnosis Epidemiologic date: living in or come from the endemic area The history of eating raw or inadequately cooked freshwater fish and shrimp Clinical date: gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatomegaly, neurasthenia, cholangoitis, cholecystitis, etc. Laboratory findings: Discovery of characteristic eggs in feces or by duodenal aspiration come to accurate diagnosis Eosinophilia and positive immunologic test support the diagnosis
14
Differential Diagnosis Viral hepatitis Liver cirrhosis of other origins Primary carcinoma of the liver Fasciolopsiasis Other specie of flukes infection
15
Prognosis Good of the mild infection Co-infection with viral hepatitis may make the disease severe
16
Treatment Pathogenic Treatment Praziquantel is the best choice of drug for the therapy Dose: 15-25mg/kg, three times a day, for 2 days, the total dose is 90-150mg/kg Another choice of drug is Albendazole Heteropathy Treatment
17
Prevention Control of the source of infection: Treat the patients and domestic animal(cats and dogs, etc.) at the same time. Cut off the route of transmission: Avoid of eating inadequately cooked freshwater fish and shrimp Sanitary disposal of the excreta Avoid of drinking raw water
