What are the risk factors for Clonorchis Sinensis infection in children?
The primary risk factor for Clonorchis sinensis infection is the consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. Children living in endemic areas are at higher risk, especially if local culinary practices include eating such fish. Poor sanitation and lack of access to clean water also contribute to the spread of the infection, as these conditions facilitate the contamination of water sources with the parasite's eggs.
