Primary Spinal Intradural Hydatid Cysts in a Child With Progressive Paraparesis: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Primary spinal hydatid cyst is an uncommon form of echinococcosis, which may cause focal neurological deficits. We report an extremely rare case of spinal hydatic cyst with several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 4‐year‐old boy was referred to our medical center suffering from progressive lower back pain, weakness and numbness in both

The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review [PDF]
Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the
