Clonorchiasis

Authoring team

Clonorchiasis is an infection of the biliary tree caused by Clonorchisis sinensis - a liver fluke. Infection is usually asymptomatic; however, heavy infestation may cause biliary obstruction.

Humans become infected by eating raw or undercooked freshwater fish in fillets, sashimi, or congee containing C sinensis metacercariae.
