Two cases of domestically acquired fascioliasis are reported. Patient One was a 63-year-old male who developed a febrile illness 2 months after eating watercress in Marin County. Patient Two was a 38-year-old male who had eaten watercress with Patient One, and also developed a febrile illness. Both patients had eosinophilia and liver lesions on imaging. Diagnosis was made by serology and treatment was with triclabendazole.
Author Notes
Disclosure: Portions of these cases were presented as a Poster at the 2012 ID Week in San Diego, California (Poster 1696, October 20, 2012).
