Abstract EN
Infection with Dicrocoelium dendriticum in humans is seldom to be reported in Egypt.
This liver fluke, which commonly infects ruminants, has a complex life cycle with two intermediate hosts; the land snail and the ant.
Human infection occurs by accidental ingestion of the second intermediate host.
The present reported a patient suffered from recurrent acute chole-cystitis with chronic urinary schistosomiasis whose Kato stool examination showed Dicroceolium dendriticum eggs.
He was successfully treated with Mirazid®
