Isolated Cerebral Alveolar Echinococcosis [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018
Abstract Cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is rare and mostly associated with liver involvement. We report an exceptional case of a 62-year-old man with a hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia harboring a primary cerebral AE mimicking neurocysticercosis with >100 cerebral lesions and without liver involvement.

Canine Alveolar Echinococcosis: An Emerging and Costly Introduced Problem in North America

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2023
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis, is emerging in both dogs and people in North America. Here, we review 27 cases of canine AE opportunistically reported since the index case was described in 2009 in ...

Can contrast-enhanced ultrasound differentiate the type of hepatic echinococcosis: cystic echinococcosis or alveolar echinococcosis?

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Hepatic echinococcosis (HE) is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus , and Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis are the most common, causing cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), respectively.

Case Report: Amphotericin B and Mefloquine as a Salvage Treatment of Alveolar Echinococcosis.

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2023
Alveolar echinococcosis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis. Most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when lifelong treatment with benzimidazoles is required to stop disease progression.

Differential Gene Expression Profiling in Alveolar Echinococcosis Identifies Potential Biomarkers Associated With Angiogenesis

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. Alveolar echinococcosis is a severe chronic parasitic disease that exhibits a tumor-like growth, with the potential for invasion and distant metastasis;

Dog Ownership and Risk for Alveolar Echinococcosis, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Human alveolar echinococcosis is caused by the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis, and dog ownership has been identified as a risk factor. We sought to specify the factors of dog ownership underlying this risk by conducting a case–control study among ...

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
An unprecedented high‐resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci is obtained, revealing the dynamic functions of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The transition of parasite control strategy from “active killing” to “negative segregation” by the host may provide instructive insights into ...

Alveolar Echinococcosis in Children [PDF]

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2020
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an infectious zoonotic disease that is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. The disease is generally identified accidentally because of the long asymptomatic period, has a malignant behaviour, and mainly occurs in the liver. Usually it is diagnosed in adults and is very rare in pediatric patients.

Evaluation of Serological Markers in Alveolar Echinococcosis Emphasizing the Correlation of PET-CTI Tracer Uptake with RecEm18 and Echinococcus-Specific IgG

Pathogens, 2022
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE), which is caused by the cestode Echinococcus (E.) multilocularis, is an epidemiologically relevant issue in modern medicine and still poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
