A 12-year-old farmer’s boy presented with 4 weeks of left flank pain. On examination, a palpable mass below the right costal margin was noted. Investigations, including full blood count, C-reactive protein, and kidney and liver tests, were normal, except for mild eosinophilia (0.53×109/L).

Multisystem involvement of alveolar echinococcosis in a child
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic progressive infestation inducing a slowly progressing, life-threatening tumor-like growth in the liver. It may spread to other organs by regional extension or hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis. Herein, we report a fifteen-year-old patient diagnosed with AE of the liver and simultaneous lung and brain ...

Underreporting of Human Alveolar Echinococcosis, Germany
We estimated the total number of human alveolar echinococcosis cases in Germany from 2003 through 2005 using the multiple source capture-recapture method. We found a 3-fold higher incidence of the disease than that shown by national surveillance data. We propose a revision of the reporting system to increase case ascertainment.
