Clonorchis sinensis, also known as the Chinese liver fluke, is a fish-borne trematode causing clonorchiasis. Low-income areas of Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and northern Vietnam are especially affected. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed C sinensis among the most neglected tropical diseases globally. C sinensis is a common parasite of fish-eating mammals, including cats, dogs, and humans. Humans become infected by eating raw or undercooked freshwater fish in fillets, sashimi, or congee containing C sinensis metacercariae. When infected, C sinensis lives within humans’ biliary system. These parasites can cause serious complications if not found and treated early. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of liver flukes and addresses the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating this condition
