The fascioliasis induced by Fasciola hepatica is a syndrome which has still not been fully clarified in this country, though the different peninsular regions are suitable for completion of the life cycle of the worm; infested animals may found throughout these regions and in almost all of them human fascioliasis has been diagnosed, with the greatest incidence in the Basque Country, Navarra and La-Rioja. This greater appearance is probably related to the dietary habits in those areas, since the consumption of water cress is undoubtedly the principal source of contamination and is entirely responsible for the rest of the epidemiology of the diseases in humans. In the cases studied, the clinical symptoms did not differ from those habitually found in this syndrome. Serological methods have resolved the diagnosis in the acute phase of the disease and furthermore are of great use for monitoring post-treatment evolution. The cases studied by this Department were diagnosed with immunodiffusion, haemagglutination and immunoelectrophoresis techniques and the evolution of the patients was also followed by immunodiffusion and haemagglutination.
由肝片吸虫引起的片形吸虫病是一种在该国仍未完全阐明的综合征，尽管不同的半岛地区适合该蠕虫完成其生命周期；在这些地区都可能发现受感染的动物，并且几乎在所有地区都已诊断出人类片形吸虫病，其中发病率最高的是巴斯克地区、纳瓦拉和拉里奥哈。这种较高的发病率可能与这些地区的饮食习惯有关，因为食用水田芥无疑是主要的传染源，并且完全是人类疾病其余流行病学情况的原因。在所研究的病例中，临床症状与该综合征中通常发现的症状并无不同。血清学方法已解决了疾病急性期的诊断问题，此外对监测治疗后的病情发展也非常有用。该部门研究的病例采用免疫扩散、血凝和免疫电泳技术进行诊断，患者的病情发展也通过免疫扩散和血凝进行跟踪。
