Quick Summary:

• Heterophyiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the fluke Heterophyes heterophyes. The parasite is typically found in Egypt and other areas of the Middle East and Asia
• Flukes are flat, leaf-like parasites that live inside the body of animals or humans. Fluke is the common name for any member of the class Trematoda
• H. heterophyes is an intestinal fluke, meaning that they live and attach themselves to the intestine of the host, after they are ingested. Humans can contract Heterophyiasis, if they consume undercooked or raw fish that contain larvae of H. heterophyes encased in a cyst (a type of shell)
• Once inside the body, the larvae exit the cyst and mature into adults. These adults live inside of the host’s intestine; but, they can also migrate around the body, to places like the heart and brain
• Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the most common symptoms of the infection. Severe complications can rarely occur if the parasites migrate to the heart or brain, which may even be fatal
• A microscopic examination of stool samples is the chief mode of diagnosis of Heterophyiasis. Following a positive diagnosis, the infection is treated with anti-parasitic drugs. The prognosis is good in most cases, with early diagnosis and prompt treatment
