An update on immunodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis
Acta Tropica, 2003Immunological parameters are increasingly investigated as possible markers for the development of cystic echinococcosis. Among the newer immunologic tests for assessing the host-parasite relationship, assay of immunoglobulin isotypes with the use of distinct parasite antigens and detection of Th1/Th2 cytokine expression are an interesting new approach.

Benzimidazole treatment of cystic echinococcosis
Acta Tropica, 2003Hydatidosis (cystic echinococcosis, CE) constitutes a serious public health problem worldwide. Total surgical removal of a hydatid cyst is still considered the gold standard treatment for CE. Percutaneous treatment (PAIR), using either hypertonic saline or alcohol as a larvacidal agent, appears to be an additional effective form of treatment ...
