About Opisthorchiasis.

Opisthorchiasis is a foodborne parasitic infection caused by trematodes of the genus *Opisthorchis*, predominantly *Opisthorchis viverrini* and *Opisthorchis felineus*.

Transmitted to humans through the ingestion of raw, pickled, or undercooked freshwater fish harboring infectious metacercariae, the flukes mature and inhabit the hepatobiliary system, specifically the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder.

While mild infections are frequently asymptomatic, heavy or chronic worm burdens provoke mechanical irritation, intermittent biliary obstruction, chronic cholangitis, and progressive periductal fibrosis.

Clinical manifestations include right upper quadrant abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, anorexia, and obstructive jaundice, with long-standing infection recognized as a major risk factor for developing cholangiocarcinoma.
