An Imported Case of Gigantic Amoebic Liver Abscess in a 24‐Year‐Old Woman in Singapore

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
A liver abscess can be due to several different microbiological aetiologies. While pyogenic liver abscess is most frequently encountered, amoebic liver abscess and hydatid cyst caused by the parasites, Entamoeba histolytica and Echinococcus granulosus, respectively, should be considered whenever there is epidemiological exposure.

Surgical Resection of Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis Impaired by Preoperative Diagnosis

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2013
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a rare afferent infectious disease in Japan. This paper reports a case of a hepatic cyst being diagnosed after surgical resection. A 40-year-old Syrian male was admitted for evaluation of a hepatic cyst.

Robust phase-retrieval-based X-ray tomography for morphological assessment of early hepatic echinococcosis infection in rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Propagation-based phase-contrast computed micro-tomography (PPCT) dominates the non-destructive, three-dimensional inner-structure measurement in synchrotron-based biomedical research due to its simple experimental setup. To quantitatively visualize tiny

Alveolar Echinococcosis of the Liver in an Adult with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
. : We describe a patient with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV) infection and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) with a focus on two messages. Despite being severely immunocompromised over years the patient exhibited a long-term asymptomatic course of

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as salvage treatment for pulmonary Echinococcus granulosus infection with acute cyst rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used successfully for the treatment of patients with respiratory failure due to severe infections. Although rare, parasites can also cause severe pulmonary disease.

Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Despite being relatively common in endemic settings, amoebic liver abscesses are rarely diagnosed in high‐resource countries, where they are usually imported by migrants or travelers to endemic areas. Between 2010 and 2024, we observed two cases of amoebic liver abscess that were successfully managed in a tertiary‐care center in Italy.

A deep learning radiomics model based on CT images for predicting the biological activity of hepatic cystic echinococcosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
Introduction: Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) is a widely seen parasitic infection. Biological activity is crucial for treatment planning. This work aims to explore the potential applications of a deep learning radiomics (DLR) model, based on CT ...

The first meeting of the European Register of Cystic Echinococcosis (ERCE) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
6 páginas, 3 figuras, 1 tablaCystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease endemic in southern and eastern European countries. The true prevalence of CE is difficult to estimate due to the high proportion of asymptomatic carriers who never ...
