The patient complained of high fever with right upper abdominal pain and was admitted to the hospital. Physical examination showed tenderness in the liver area with hepatomegaly. Laboratory examination showed that the total number of leukocytes increased, neutrophils 88%, eosinophils 12% and C-reactive protein increased (indicated with infection). Abdominal CT showed space occupying lesions in the liver area and fuzzy structure in the lesions. The patient was born in Sichuan, China, a professional photographer and travelled all over the country. According to your knowledge of human parasitology, what kind of parasite may this patient be infected with? Please list up your diagnosis and explain the reasons. Please list the other two parasites that can cause organ space occupying lesions. Which parasitic diseases need to be identified from the perspective of parasitic pathogenicity? Please described the treatment principles in briefly.
