Parasitic disorders affecting the liver in children include amebiasis, visceral leishmaniasis (Kala Azar), ascariasis, hepatic capillariasis, strongyloidiasis, toxocariasis, echinococcosis (hydatidosis), fascioliasis, schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, and opisthorchiasis. Emphasis is placed on identifying the responsible parasite (i.e., protozoa, nematodes, cestodes, trematodes) along with principles of diagnosis, clinical symptomatology, and management. Clinicians should keep in mind that the liver is often affected by parasites, including those listed herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
