Fascioliasis is a food-borne anthropozoonotic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica that affects multiple hosts, including humans. We herein report the first case of human fascioliasis in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. A 57-year-old female patient complaining of abdominal pain was admitted to the hospital for a clinical investigation. The diagnosis of F. hepatica was confirmed by ultrasound and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Authorities of the Northern coast of Santa Catarina were notified to investigate other cases and risk factors for contamination. The disease is also prevalent in cattle, which could pose as a potential route for infection.
肝片吸虫病是一种食源性人兽共患病，由肝片吸虫引起，可感染包括人类在内的多种宿主。我们在此报告巴西圣卡塔琳娜州首例人类肝片吸虫病病例。一名57岁女性患者因腹痛入院接受临床检查。通过超声检查和间接酶联免疫吸附测定确诊为肝片吸虫感染。已通知圣卡塔琳娜州北部海岸的有关部门调查其他病例及污染的风险因素。该病在牛群中也很普遍，这可能是潜在的感染途径。
