Hydatid Cyst of the Thyroid Gland With Concurrent Hepatic Involvement: A Rare Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly affects the liver and lungs, while thyroid involvement is exceptionally rare and can mimic other cystic thyroid lesions. We report a 40‐year‐old woman with no history of animal exposure who presented with anterior neck swelling, odynophagia, and abdominal discomfort. She had a prior

Immune Exhaustion in Chronic Infection and Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Immune exhaustion is a well‐established hallmark of both cancer and chronic infection. This review proposes a novel “infection–exhaustion–tumor axis” framework, wherein chronic pathogens (e.g., oncogenic viruses) evade immune surveillance by hijacking inflammatory signaling to drive immune cell exhaustion, thereby creating immunosuppressive niches ...
