| description | "nArdabil Province, northwestern Iran, is endemic for visceral leishmaniasis of Mediterranean type from many years ago. This situation might cause to underestimate other important diseases, which occur spo­radically within the same area. In this case, a 6-year-old male patient in this area was treated as in­fected with visceral leishmaniasis initially with seropositive result for visceral leishmaniasis. After­wards, histo­pathological study of crashed material and tissue sections surprisingly revealed numer­ous liver fascio­lid fluke eggs. This case demonstrates that in an area endemic for a given parasito­ses, other im­portant infectious diseases must be considered as well. |
