Abstract

Keriorrhea is the emission of an orange oily fluid in the feces that can appear after eating some species of fish, like butterfish. Symptoms can appear between 1 hour and 3 days after fish intake. Keriorrhea consists of orange oily fluid emission (like mussel oil) in the feces without depositional rhythm alteration and does not need any treatment.
