Human Alveolar Echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Human echinococcosis is a reportable disease in Kyrgyzstan. Between 1995 and 2011, human alveolar echinococcosis increased from 60 cases per year. The origins of this epidemic, which started in 2004, may be linked to the socioeconomic changes that followed the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.

Multimodality imaging in diagnosis and management of alveolar echinococcosis: an update

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2016
Alveolar echinococcosis is a parasitic disease limited to the northern hemisphere. The disease occurs primarily in the liver and shows a profile mimicking slow-growing malignant tumors. Echinococcus multilocularis infection is fatal if left untreated. It

Fatal Liver and Lung Alveolar Echinococcosis with Newly Developed Neurologic Symptoms due to the Brain Involvement

The Surgery Journal, 2016
The fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis causes human alveolar echinococcosis, commonly affecting the liver. However, in ∼1% of cases, systematic spread of the disease involves the brain as well.

Alveolar echinococcosis

Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening
Alveolar echinococcosis is a much-feared parasitic zoonosis caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. Mainland Norway is free from infection, but alveolar echinococcosis is, on rare occasions, imported from endemic regions. Those infected develop slow-growing, multicystic tumours that are clinically and radiologically reminiscent of ...

Prediction of benzimidazole therapy duration with PET/CT in inoperable patients with alveolar echinococcosis

Scientific Reports, 2022
Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease, most frequently affecting the liver, as a slow-growing tumor-like lesion. If inoperable, long-term benzimidazole therapy is required, which is associated with high healthcare costs and occasionally ...

Fatal Alveolar Echinococcosis of the Lumbar Spine [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT For the last 10 years, the southern part of Belgium has been recognized as a low-risk area of endemicity for alveolar echinococcosis. This infection, caused by Echinococcus multilocularis , usually induces a severe liver condition and can sometimes spread to other organs.

Serum Metabolomics of Patients with Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE), a liver manifestation of hydatid disease, is among the 17 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) prioritized by the WHO for eradication by 2025. Although imaging and serological tests are currently the main diagnostic approaches for HCE, they have notable limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

Suspected Regional Lymph Node Metastasis in Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis: A Case Report

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2020
There is no direct evidence to support the existence of regional lymph node metastatic routes in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, and only a few literature have been reported. There was a case of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis suspected of metastasis of

Alveolar Echinococcosis in a Patient with Presumed Autoimmune Hepatitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: An Unexpected Finding after Liver Transplantation

Pathogens, 2023
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is an important reason for liver transplantation. Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis and presents characteristic calcified conglomerates detected by ultrasound or computed ...
