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

Case 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.

Multimodal Treatment of a Spontaneously Ruptured Echinococcus Cyst of the Spleen and Its Complications

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid cyst, is a parasitic infection of mammals that can affect any organ. Although the diagnosis of primary splenic echinococcosis is challenging, especially in nonendemic areas, it can be life‐saving because an anaphylactic shock may occur when the cyst ruptures.
