Abstract :
Background: Human fasciolosis is deemed as an emerging/re-emerging infection, hence making it an important hu-man parasitic disease. In contrast to northern parts of Iran, human cases of fasciolosis in southern Iran are rare and sporadic. We report a sporadic case of fasciolosis in southern Iran (Fars Province) who presented with prolonged fe-ver. Our report could suggest that there might be new foci emerging in the region, which indicates the need for further investigations.
