The majority were Saudis and only 32 of the 121 patients had true dicrocoeliasis as detected by re-examination after three days of a liver-free diet. The other patients had false dicrocoeliasis. The infection was influenced by the patients behaviors. The Saudis consumed more sheep meat during a month Du-El-Heja and Haj and Feast.
