The Oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis, is a parasitic worm that may be acquired by eating raw, undercooked, pickled, salted, or smoked fish. The fluke exists in a dormant stage in the skin of a fish and is unable to continue its life cycle until ingested by a warm-blooded animal, in which the larvae mature and produce eggs. The adult fluke can survive in the biliary duct of its host for up to 50 years and can cause chronic liver disease and, eventually, death. How it is treated? Discuss
