Bioinformatics‐Driven Design of Fusion Recombinant Protein (EgFABP1‐EgTeg) for Enhanced Immunodiagnosis of Hydatid Cysts

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the parasite Echinococcus and poses significant health concerns worldwide. Due to the lack of early symptoms and limited diagnostic tools, researchers aim to design a more specific and sensitive antigen. The study focuses on developing a recombinant multi‐epitope antigen using two parasite proteins (

Is It Time to Abandon the Absolute Contraindication to FNAC in Pulmonary Hydatid Cysts? A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This report challenges the historical belief that fine‐needle aspiration (FNAC) is absolutely contraindicated in suspected pulmonary hydatid cysts. By a case of successful diagnosis without anaphylaxis and a systematic review of the literature, we show that with modern image guidance and precautions, the risk may be lower than traditionally thought.

Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.

A Diagnostic Dilemma in Hepatic Cystic Lesions: Radiological Mimicry of Biliary Cystadenoma and Hydatid Cyst in a Histologically Confirmed Simple Hepatic Cyst

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic cystic lesions pose diagnostic challenges due to overlapping imaging features, as simple hepatic cysts may mimic biliary cystadenoma or hydatid cysts. We report a 43‐year‐old female with chronic right lower abdominal pain, initially diagnosed with hydatid cyst on ultrasonography and later suspected as biliary cystadenoma on CT and MRI.

Hydatid Cyst of the Right Atrium With Hepatic and Pulmonary Involvement and Concomitant Pulmonary Embolism, Presenting With Massive Haemoptysis: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) shows a large, well‐circumscribed multicystic mass with multiple internal cysts of varying sizes which represent daughter cysts involving the RA cavity, highly suggestive of hydatid cyst of right atrium, a rare phenomenon of cardiac Echinococcus.

In Vitro Effects of SB202190 on Echinococcus granulosus

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2013
Spillage of cyst contents during surgical operation is the major cause of recurrence after hydatid cyst surgery. Instillation of a scolicidal agent into a hepatic hydatid cyst is the most commonly employed measure to prevent this complication. SB202190 is a pyridinyl imidazole derivative and is known to be a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK.

The first report of hydatid disease (Echinococcus granulosus) in an Australian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
A three year old female water buffalo was slaughtered for human consumption on a dairy buffalo farm in eastern New South Wales, Australia. Gross examination of the offal revealed four small, superficial hydatid cysts in the liver and two larger ...
