Histopathological picture of the liver parenchyma in the course of trematode infection. A – Focus of lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrates in the liver parenchyma; B – Coagulative necrosis of individual hepatocytes mixed with inflammatory cells; C – Oval structures with an opaque sheath embedded in the liver parenchyma suggestive of parasite eggs; D – Extensive areas of fibrosis of the liver parenchyma with a central focus of the necrotic area
