Schistosomiasis is a major cause of liver damage and portal hypertension, especially in tropical countries, affecting about 200 million people in the world. We report the cases of two patients presenting persistent alterations of serum liver enzymes. We enhance the importance of considering the history of past travels and a liver biopsy to diagnose an infrequent parasite induced liver disease in a non endemic area such as Portugal. Some observations are made about the diagnosis and treatment of this parasitic disease.
血吸虫病是导致肝损伤和门静脉高压的主要原因，尤其是在热带国家，全球约有2亿人受其影响。我们报告了两名血清肝酶持续异常患者的病例。我们强调在葡萄牙这样的非流行地区，考虑既往旅行史和肝活检对于诊断罕见的寄生虫性肝病的重要性。对这种寄生虫病的诊断和治疗进行了一些观察。
