American Heart Journal, 1953
Abstract In reviewing the literature 169 cases of echinococcosis of the heart were mentioned. In a series of 257 patients with hydatid disease admitted to the American University Hospital of Beirut, Lebanon, the liver was involved in 51.7 per cent, the lung in 29.9 per cent, the kidneys in 5.8 per cent, the spleen in 4.67 per cent, the soft tissues ...

Chest, 1971
Early and accurate diagnosis of echinococcosis of the heart is of great importance. Surgical treatment is indicated as rupture of the cyst either to the heart chambers or to the pericardial cavity may have serious complications or a fatal outcome. Diagnosis is based on the chest x-ray picture in association with the Casoni skin test, Weinberg's test ...

Abdominal Imaging, 2007
Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is an infection of larval stage animal tapeworm, Echinococcus. The larvae reside in the liver and lungs, producing multiloculated fluid-filled cysts. Imaging findings of Echinococcosis caused by E. granulosus are single, unilocular cyst or multiseptated cysts, showing "wheel-like", "rosette-like" or ...

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2004
The larval stages of Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis are involved in parasitic diseases in humans: cystic echinococcosis (CE) ("hydatid disease") and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), respectively. Both diseases and parasites have tight links with allergy because of the immunological characteristics that contribute to maintain the larvae in ...

Epidemiology of echinococcosis
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2003Various species and infraspecific forms of the cestode genus Echinococcus are causative agents of human echinococcosis. Pathology, epidemiology and geographical occurrence vary widely between the different Echinococcus taxa. As a general rule, those forms of echinococcosis that are transmitted mainly by wild animals are rather rare, due to limited ...

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Abstract A fatal case of indigenously acquired echinococcosis is reported from Herriman, Utah. The patient, an 8-year-old boy, is known to have had contact with animals on his grandfather's ranch, and subsequent studies traced infected sheep back to this ranch, where a dog carrying Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms was also identified.

Phrenomediastinal Echinococcosis
Chest, 1990A patient with the rare presentation of posterior mediastinal echinococcosis is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) demonstrated the extension of a primary retroperitoneal cyst into the posterior mediastinum which was subsequently confirmed surgically to be of echinococcal origin. Such a case of phrenomediastinal echinococcosis has been described

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2002
Three patients with arterial echinococcosis presented with chronic or acute arterial occlusion. One case diagnosed as Leriche's syndrome was found at surgery to have aortic occlusion caused by hydatid cysts; arterial reconstruction was performed by aortoiliac interposition of a woven Dacron vascular graft.

Cysticercosis and Echinococcosis
2012Cysticercosis and cystic echinococcosis are zoonotic parasitic diseases commonly transmitted by livestock animals. Past and future efforts to reduce transmission of these diseases adopt a One Health approach where control measures are implemented largely in the parasites' animal hosts in order to bring about, indirectly, a reduction in human disease ...
