title: Case report: unusual presentation of Fasciolopsis buski in a Vietnamese child.
abstract: A Vietnamese child presented with a history of abdominal pain. Shortly afterwards, he vomited eight live trematode flukes that were collected and morphologically identified as Fasciolopsis buski. The identification was confirmed by DNA analysis. Adult worms of F. buski from humans are very rarely seen except at autopsy, and this is the first such report from Vietnam.
