A 57-year-old female patient presented with fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss within the last two months. Ceftriaxone and metronidazole therapy was started upon discovery of a liver abscess but provided no benefit. Following the of abscess biopsy, the patient developed fever, itching, anemia, acute renal failure, hyperbilirubinemia, and eosinophilia that required intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The Fasciola hepatica antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Triclabendazole was started, after which the symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings regressed. Even without eosinophilia, F. hepatica should be considered in cases with a liver abscess that does not respond to antibiotics.

A decade on from the Arab Uprisings, politics across the Middle East remains contested, both within and between states. As a mix of strategic alliance, security community, and ideational network, the Resistance Axis provides a compelling study into questions of regional order in the Middle East, given its long-standing counterhegemonic outlook vis-à-vis the US and its regional allies. While comprised of a number of constituent parts, what holds this complex alliance network together is a broadly shared normative vision of regional order articulated in discourse, driven by ideational heritage and made real through spatial performance. We refer to this normative vision as nomos. In focusing on the Resistance Axis, this paper looks at the ways in which spatialized notions of resistance have been deployed by actors within the axis, namely the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah. With an empirical focus on Lebanon, we draw on fieldwork conducted in the country exploring the articulation of resistance narratives through different cultural and memorialized spaces that both actors have created. Our contention is that nomos has a utility as an alternative conceptual tool for understanding manifestations of order alongside more mainstream approaches.
