Primary Mediastinal Pleural Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Tuberculous Pleuritis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydatid disease, caused by various Echinococcus species, is endemic in developing countries and most commonly affects the liver and lungs.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

An Easy and Efficient Method for Native and Immunoreactive Echinococcus granulosus Antigen 5 Enrichment from Hydatid Cyst Fluid [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Currently, the serodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis relies mostly on crude Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cyst fluid as the antigen. Consequently, available immunodiagnostic tests lack standardization of the target antigen and, in turn ...
