		Clonorchiasis is an infection of the biliary passages by the Oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis.
		The trematode responsible for clonorchiasis is found throughout much of East Asia from Indochina to Japan as a common parasite of man and fish-eating mammals.
		Hong Kong has a very high incidence; a 1964 study in a government hospital there revealed clonorchiasis in 27% of patients over 2 years of age and in 40% of patients over 30 years of age.

		Complications of clonorchiasis include the formation of calculi, acute suppurative cholangitis, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, acute pancreatitis, and cholangiocellular carcinoma of the liver.
		Calculi are commonly found in the intrahepatic and common bile ducts as well as within the gallbladders of patients with clonorchiasis (70% of Hou's cases from Hong Kong).
		The incidence of clonorchiasis in the general population in Hong Kong is 23%, but in those with cholangiocarcinoma it is 65%.

	Statements of Principles - Clonorchiasis - reasonable hypothesis
		"clonorchiasis" means an infection of the biliary system by the trematode Clonorchis sinensis, attracting ICD code 121.1.
		The diagnosis of clonorchiasis can be accepted by the Repatriation Commission when it is confirmed by a general medical practitioner or specialist as the final diagnosis or on advice by a Departmental Medical Officer.
		Clonorchiasis is also associated with an increased risk for cholangiocarcinoma which is usually associated with a proximal obstruction, and subsequent massive dilation, of the biliary ducts.
