Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Both Tuberculous Cavity and Aspergilloma: A Diagnostic Challenge in an Endemic Region

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease endemic in many pastoral regions. Pulmonary involvement, although less common than hepatic, may present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms and mimic other pathologies such as tuberculosis, posing a diagnostic challenge.

Thioredoxin peroxidase secreted by Echinococcus granulosus (sensu stricto) promotes the alternative activation of macrophages via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Larvae of Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato) dwell in host organs for a long time but elicit only a mild inflammatory response, which indicates that the resolution of host inflammation is necessary for parasite survival.
