What are the symptoms of opisthorchiasis in children?
Many children with opisthorchiasis may remain asymptomatic for long periods. When symptoms do occur, they can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, jaundice, and hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). Chronic infection can lead to more severe complications such as cholangitis, cholecystitis, and an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).
