The paper describes the case of Fasciola hepatica in patient from Turkmenistan presenting with icterus, biliary-type pain, dark urine and jaundice. Magnetic resonance (MRC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) were performed and after sphincterotomy one Fasciola hepatica was extracted. After the ERC antiparasitic treatment was given with triclabendazole. Clinical outcome was favourable. In conclusion, fascioliasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, especially in patients travelled to endemic regions, and it should be kept in mind that ERC and triclabendazole play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of Fasciola hepatica treated by ERC in Russia.

Fasciola hepatica is a digenetic trematode that parasitizes the bile ducts of different species of vertebrate hosts. In Brazil, this parasitosis is expanding and occurrences have been reported in the southern, southeastern, central-western and northeastern regions. This study aimed to report the first case of naturally infection of buffaloes by this parasite in the state of Minas Gerais. A total of 250 stool samples, 176 from cattle and 74 from buffaloes, from the districts of São José da Lapa and Pedro Leopoldo, were examined. Also, 402 snails of the genus Lymnaea were collected on the same farms and the viability of the eggs from naturally infected buffaloes and cattle and the susceptibility of the snails to infection were tested. A total of 54 animals were found to be positive, 33 cattle (18.75%) and 21 buffaloes (28.37%), and two molluscs showed immature forms of F. hepatica. In experimental infection of specimens of Lymnaea, cercariae were obtained through spontaneous elimination from the 57th day post-infection onwards. The importance of this first case report can be emphasized because it confirms that this parasite is being dispersed in municipalities in this state that had previously been considered to be unaffected.
