This parasite provokes allergic, mechanical and neurogenic reactions in the host. Targeted diagnosis should be initiated in existence of the characteristic symptom triad: conjunctival changes (Paltsev's symptom), tremor of the tongue, fissures of the tongue. Chronic opisthorchiasis is treated in three stages: preparation measures, specific chemotherapy, rehabilitation.
