The first case of not imported dicroceliasis in Czechoslovakia is reported in an eleven-year-old boy. The patient suffered from gastrointestinal complaints for about half a year. Diarrhea frequently alternated with constipation, the abdominal pain was mainly in the region of the pancreas. With the exception of eosinophilia (16%), all other laboratory findings (blood count, ELFO, urinalysis) were within normal values. Eggs of Dicrocoelium dendriticum were repeatedly found in stool specimens. The patient was successfully treated with Bithin (4,6-dichlorpentol). Examination of the other members of the family proved negative. At present the patient is without complaints, stool examinations for parasites were repeatedly negative. Contact with sheep or consumption of contaminated liver was not demonstrated. The parasitic infestation may have occurred via an intermediate host, as the patient was keen on collecting different animals, particularly snails.
