Hepatitis, Parasitic
Many parasites pass through the liver as part of their life cycle within the host. Some migrate further to other organs while others remain in liver tissue, especially the bile ducts. Most migrating parasites escape the liver but occasionally some may die and provoke a granulomatous reaction that may calicfy later. The following are types of parasites causing liver lesions:
Liver Trematodes
Protozoal
Toxoplasmosis
- Toxoplasma gondii
- broad host range
- characterised by widespread necrosis in many organs
- liver lesions
- appear as disseminated foci of necrosis with little or no inflammatory reactions
- white or yellow foci are visible on the surface
