Peritoneal and hepatic hydatid disease causing major bile duct destruction [PDF]

, 2012
Echinococcosis is endemic in Mediterranean regions and is found primarily in the liver. Biliary fistula is a common complication, but major biliary duct involvement is very rare, and occurs in 0.47% of patients with hepatic hydatid disease.

A Case Series of Hypermucoid Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess in Caucasian Americans Without Travel History: An Epidemiologic Shift?

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging cause of community‐acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), classically described in East and Southeast Asia. We report two cases of hvKp‐associated PLA in Caucasian women of American origin with no history of international travel, animal exposure, or Asian food consumption. Both patients

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

The Role of the Multidisciplinary Team in the Management of Complex Cases of Liver Disease in a Peripheral Hospital: A Retrospective Analysis of MDT Registry

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In liver disease (LD), multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) support complex decision‐making and may improve care delivery. The present study aims to evaluate the role of a multidisciplinary approach in complex cases of LD in a peripheral hospital. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a prospectively maintained MDT registry.

Hepatic echinococcosis: Clinical and therapeutic aspects

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012
Echinococcosis or hydatid disease (HD) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus. Hepatic echinococcosis is a life-threatening disease, mainly differentiated into alveolar and cystic forms, associated with Echinoccus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) and Echinococcus granulosus (E.
