dc.description.abstract There is a case of a 38 year-old male patient coming from an area where hepatic fascioliasis is endemic in Peru. He was hospitalized because he showed 4 weeks of symptoms like fever, intense myalgias, erythematous and painful injuries on limb extensions. The electromyography and nerve conduction velocity showed a global inflammatory myopathy. A skin biopsy showed polyarteritis nodosa-type vasculitis. During the evaluation process prior to the immunosuppressive therapy, hepatic Fasciola eggs were found in the parasitological examination of stools. The fascioliasis diagnosis was confirmed by fas2-ELISA: 0.46 (VN <0.20). Clinical symptoms started to subside after treatment with ticlabendazol. Contact with the patient was maintained for a year and there was no evidence of disease recurrence, and he was asymptomatic. en_US
dc.description.abstract Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 38 años, procedente de una zona endémica para fascioliasis hepática en el Perú. Fue hospitalizado por presentar un cuadro de cuatro semanas de evolución; con fiebre, mialgias intensas, lesiones eritematosas y dolorosas en las regiones de extensión de las extremidades. La electromiografía y la velocidad de conducción nerviosa mostraron una miopatía inflamatoria global. La biopsia de piel evidenció una vasculitis de tipo poliarteritis nodosa. En el proceso de evaluación previa a la terapia inmunosupresora, se hallaron huevos de Fasciola hepática en el examen coproparasitológico. El diagnóstico de fascioliasis se confirmó con fas2-ELISA: 0,46 (VN <0,20). El cuadro clínico remitió luego del tratamiento con ticlabendazol. Se mantuvo contacto con el paciente durante un año y no se evidenció recurrencia de la enfermedad, manteniéndose asintomático. es_PE
