Clinical Features, Radiological Characteristics, and Outcomes of Patients With Intracranial Alveolar Echinococcosis: A Case Series From Tibetan Areas of Sichuan Province, China

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Objectives: Intracranial alveolar echinococcosis (IAE), a zoonotic disease, is a critical health problem in the Tibetan region. We aimed to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics and outcomes among patients with IAE.

Alveolar mimics with periodic strain and its effect on the cell layer formation [PDF]

Biotechnology and Bioengineering 117(9), 2827-2841 (2020), 2020
We report on the development of a new model of alveolar air-tissue interface on a chip. The model consists of an array of suspended hexagonal monolayers of gelatin nanofibers supported by microframes and a microfluidic device for the patch integration.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy for the treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

Parasite, 2021
Background: At present, laparoscopy is relatively mature as a minimally invasive technique, but there are few reports on this approach for the radical treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE).

Long-term follow-up of liver alveolar echinococcosis using echinococcosis multilocularis ultrasound classification

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
BACKGROUND When Echinococcus multilocularis infects humans as a false intermediate host, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) usually manifests primarily intrahepatically and is initially asymptomatic.

Case Report: Diagnosis of Human Alveolar Echinococcosis via Next-Generation Sequencing Analysis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare parasitic disease caused by the infection of Echinococcus multilocularis. AE may mimic malignancy both in clinical presentation and radiological imaging, which is often misdiagnosed as metastatic tumor.

Epidemic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan: an analysis of national surveillance data

The Lancet Global Health, 2020
Summary: Background: Human cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are among the priority neglected zoonotic diseases for which WHO advocates control. The incidence of both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis has increased substantially in the ...

A Case of Human Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis Accompanied by Lung and Brain Metastases

Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is considered as a fatal zoonosis caused by the larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis. The lungs and brain are the most common metastatic organs.

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.

30-yr course and favorable outcome of alveolar echinococcosis despite multiple metastatic organ involvement in a non-immune suppressed patient

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2013
We report the 30-yr history of a well-documented human case of alveolar echinococcosis, with a lung lesion at presentation followed by the discovery of a liver lesion, both removed by surgery.

The Global Burden of Alveolar Echinococcosis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is known to be common in certain rural communities in China whilst it is generally rare and sporadic elsewhere. The objective of this study was to provide a first estimate of the global incidence of this disease by country.
