Reinfection by Opisthorchis Viverrini after Treatment with Praziquantel [PDF]

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2016
The prevalence of infection by the liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini (O. viverrini), has remained high in Northeast Thailand where it is a major risk factor for the eventual development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The infection is acquired by the consumption of dishes containing unsafely prepared freshwater fish, a dietary tradition which has proved
