Echinococcosis in Tibetan Populations, Western Sichuan Province, China
We screened 3,199 people from Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, China, for abdominal echinococcosis (hydatid disease) by portable ultrasound combined with specific serodiagnostic tests. Both cystic echinococcosis (CE) (Echinococcus granulosus infection) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (E. multilocularis) were co-endemic in this area at the highest village prevalence values recorded anywhere in t...
متن کاملCerebral Echinococcosis
Echinococcus granulosus can produce hydatid cysts (HCs) commonly in liver and lung. Central nervous system HCs are rare and comprise 2 3%. We found a 25-year-old woman with a medium cerebral HC. She had a rare manifestation, sudden onset of seizure with no other clinical findings 2 hours before admission. Brain CT-scan showed a medium round hypodense lesion at left hemisphere. She had several c...
متن کامل[Pulmonary echinococcosis].
Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is caused by larvae of the tapeworm Echinococcus. Four species are recognised and the vast majority of infestations in humans are caused by E. granulosus. E. granulosus causes cystic echinococcosis, which has a worldwide distribution. Humans are exposed less frequently to E. multilocularis, which causes alveolar echinococcosis. E. vogeli and E. oligarthrus are ...
متن کاملHepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
Alveolar hydatid disease is a highly malignant form of echinococcosis caused by the larvae of the cestode echinococcus multilocularis. Alveolar hydatid disease always affects the liver and can metastasise to the lung and brain. Early diagnosis and precise evaluation of the localization as well as the extent of lesions are essential for treatment. In this report, we present ultrasound and compu...

demonstrated enhanced entry into renal epithelial cells (10). In our studies, we did not find enhanced virus replication in the respiratory tract of vaccinated mice upon SARS-CoV challenge. However, since mice are a model of SARS-CoV infection but not disease, the issue of disease enhancement will have to be carefully evaluated if and when an appropriate animal model in which this phenomenon ca...
