Capillaria hepatica which accidentally infects humans is a zoonotic parasite of mammalian liver, primarily rodents and causes hepatic capillariasis. The diagnosis is difficult because of the non-specific nature of clinical symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and can be confirmed only through liver biopsy or on autopsy results. This paper is written with an objective to report a new case of hepatic capillariasis as a rare differential for peripheral eosinophilia and an imaging dilemma for abdominal lymphadenopathy.
肝毛细线虫是一种偶然感染人类的寄生虫，是哺乳动物肝脏的人畜共患寄生虫，主要感染啮齿动物，并可导致肝毛细线虫病。由于临床症状不具特异性，诊断困难，容易导致误诊，只有通过肝活检或尸检结果才能确诊。本文旨在报告一例肝毛细线虫病新病例，该病是外周嗜酸性粒细胞增多症的罕见鉴别诊断，也是腹部淋巴结病的影像学难题。
