HLA and alveolar echinococcosis

Tissue Antigens, 1998
Abstract: Evidence in animal intermediate hosts that susceptibility to larval infection with Echinococcus multilocularis is restricted to individual host factors prompted us to investigate the susceptibility markers in humans. Because antigens of the extracellular parasite E multilocularis are possibly presented by MHC molecules in a restricted way ...

Alveolar Echinococcosis of the Spine

JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2001
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. It differs from cystic echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The main endemic areas of AE are Alaska, Canada, Japan, and parts of Europe. Hepatic involvement invariably occurs, but it is unusual for bone to be affected.

Intracerebral Alveolar Echinococcosis

Infection, 2003
There are two species of the genus Echinococcus, Echinococcus multilocularis (also called alveolar hydatid) and Echinococcus granulosus, characterized by distinct growth features in humans. The main endemic regions for human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by E.

Relevance of Pulmonary Alveolar Echinococcosis

Archivos de Bronconeumología (English Edition), 2020
Pulmonary alveolar echinococcosis (PAE) is a chronic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis with very low incidence in developed countries.This single-center, retrospective study included 34 patients who were diagnosed with PAE between January 2001 and February 2019 (15 males, 19 females, mean age: 52.4±15.8 years, age range: 28-78 years) in ...

Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis

2013
Echinococcosis of the CNS is very rare. Cystic (CE) and alveolar echininococcosis (AE) vary in their clinical manifestations, course of disease, and prognosis, to the extent that clinicians should look at these two parasitic infections as distinctly different entities. CE causes displacement and pressure atrophy, while AE expands by infiltrative growth.

Alveolar Echinococcosis in Turkey

Digestive Surgery, 2003
<i>Background:</i> Radical resection is the only potentially curative treatment for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Although Turkey is an endemic region, population screening is not performed and early diagnosis is rare. Consequently, surgeons are compelled to explore possibilities such as near-total resection and biliodigestive ...

MRI of cerebral alveolar echinococcosis

Neuroradiology, 1999
Cerebral alveolar echinococcosis is rare. We report a case with multiple intracranial masses which show cauliflower-like contrast enhancement pattern on MRI. The lesions originated from hepatic involvement with invasion of the inferior vena cava.

Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in Turkey

Annals of Tropical Medicine And Parasitology, 1998
Hydatid disease due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important public-health and economic problems in Turkey. Human CE occurs throughout Turkey whereas alveolar echinococcosis (AE) predominantly occurs in the eastern Anatolian region of the country. Human AE is also endemic in eastern Azarbaijan and northern Iran.

Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis

Acta Radiologica, 1999
Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis and most commonly involves the liver. Early diagnosis and precise evaluation of the localisation and the extent of the lesions are essential for treatment. In this report, we present US and CT findings in a patient with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
