Echinococcosis is an infectious disease of humans caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of the cestode species Echinococcus granulosus (cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease) or Echinococcus multilocularis (alveolar echinococcosis or alveolar hydatid disease). Clinical manifestations depend primarily on localization and size of hepatic lesions and may include hepatomegaly, obstructive jau...

Echinococcosis is a neglected zoonotic disease affecting over 1 million people worldwide at any given time. It is the leading cause of hospital admissions for parasitic diseases in Chile. We conducted a retrospective investigation of hospitalized cases to describe the epidemiological trends of echinococcosis in Chile. We also examined the potential environmental risk factors for echinococcosis ...

INTRODUCTION Cystic echinococcosis is endemic in Argentina. The standard pharmacological treatment for the disease is albendazole, but surgery is a common alternative. Even though primary infection occurs mainly in the pediatric population, the optimal therapeutic option in pediatrics is not clearly defined and few pediatric cohorts with cystic echinococcosis treated with albendazole have been ...

OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to measure the incidence of echinococcosis and trichinellosis hospitalization in Canada, and to compare these incidence rates between residents of northern regions and the rest of the Canadian population. METHODS Cases hospitalized in 2001-2005 for either echinococcosis or trichinellosis were retrieved from the hospital morbidity database (HMDB) held by th...

Introduction: Surgical operations remain the main and most effective option for treatment of liver echinococcosis. With development mastering method, laparoscopic are being used more widely. New technologies aimed at improving outcomes developed implemented in surgical methods. The purpose study is to present evaluate results operated patients with echinococcosis using new technologies.

Cardiac hydatidosis is rarely encountered. A case of isolated cardiac hydatid cyst of the left ventricle in a young woman is described. The diagnosis was suggested by echocardiography and was confirmed later by pathological evaluation. Serological tests were negative. The patient underwent a successful operation for cyst resection.

Echinococcosis is a human infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcocus granulosus. The most common sites of infection are the liver and the lungs. Cardiac hydatid cysts are very rare, even in regions where hydatic cysts are endemic (the Mediterranean, South America, Africa, and Australia). It has been reported that cardiac involvement is seen in about 0.5-3% of human echinococcosis ca...
