I took praziquantel for clonorchiasis, but i have not seen clonorchis sinensis in my stool. should i be able to see it, or do they die in your liver?

Die in biliary tree: and are broken down by body. The proof of cure for Clonorchis is absence of eggs in the stool under microscope. Praziquantel taken as directed is >90% effective with absence of eggs within 1-2 weeks. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Too small to see: The eggs of the liver fluke are released into the stool. The eggs are approximately 20 microns in length & 15 microns in width, so not really detectable by visual examination of the stool. The good news is that the 3-times-daily-for-3-days regimen of praziquantel is more than 90% successful at curing a clonorchiasis infection. If there is any doubt, could verify by rechecking stool at some point.
