    <abstract locale="en_US">We present a girl afflicted by Fasciola hepatica who was firstly&#xA0;considered to have other causes of jaundice and abdominal pain;however, she had eosinophilia. The clinicians initially ruled out the&#xA0;possibility parasitic infection via having one negative stool examination.&#xA0;According to the epidemiologic characteristics of the region, the patient&#xA0;belonged to hypereosinophilia and hyper IgE; we repeated the stool&#xA0;exam 3 times and the experienced parasitologist confirmed the&#xA0;diagnosis.</abstract>
