Human alveolar echinococcosis in Slovenia [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007

eComment. Alveolar echinococcosis of the lung [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2013
We read with great interest Karaman et al.'s rare case concerning lung infection with Echinococcus alveolaris [1]. We would like to highlight two points concerning the conservative treatment and imaging characteristics of alveolar echinococcosis (AE). AE is a severe disease, with a mortality of over 90% in untreated patients.

Confirmed Autochthonous Case of Human Alveolar Echinococcosis, Italy, 2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In September 2023, a patient in Italy who had never traveled abroad was referred for testing for suspected hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Lesions were incompatible with cystic echinococcosis; instead, autochthonous alveolar echinococcosis was confirmed.
