Abstract:

The Criteria for Diagnosis of Fascioliasis (WS/T 566-2017) (referred to as the Criteria) was compiled in accord with the Management Measures for Health Criteria and GB/T 1.1-2009 Standardization Work Guidelines. The Criteria is composed of six chapters, including the range of application, terms and definitions, diagnostic basis, diagnostic principle, diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Three informative appendices (etiology, epidemiology and clinical manifestation, as well as differential diagnosis) and one normative appendix (laboratory examination) are appended. The Criteria was issued by the former National Health and Family Planning Commission of China ([2017] No. 11) and was implemented on February 1, 2018. The Criteria provides for the first time technical reference for fascioliasis diagnosis in medical institutions and disease control institutions in China, and also fills the gap of diagnosis criteria of fascioliasis in China. Combined with the current enidemic situation of fascioliasis in China, this paper interprets the main contents of the Criteria so as to promote its publicity and implementation.

Key words: Fascioliasis, Diagnosis, Criteria
