Collateral circulation caused by end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023 Background Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), as a benign parasitic disease with malignant infiltrative activity, grows slowly in the liver, allowing sufficient time for collateral vessels to emerge in the process of vascular occlusion.

Kidney invasion occurred 2 years following liver transplantation for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a case report [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023 Background The organ most commonly invaded in echinococcosis is the liver; the lungs, brain, kidneys, heart, and spleen are rarely invaded, and multi-organ involvement in echinococcosis is even rarer.

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]
Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2011 We report a case of alveolar echinococcosis involving the liver in a 61-year-old male. Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare chronic and progressive disease, which can involve mostly liver and in rare cases lung and brain.

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis infection induces a decrease in NK cell function through high expression of NKG2A in patients [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyEchinococcus multilocularis larval tapeworm infection in humans is considered a serious public health issue. The immune interaction between parasites and their hosts is extremely important. NK cells are known innate immune cells that play important roles

Laparoscopic resection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: A single-center experience. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2022 Introduction Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) remains a very rare disease requiring complete radical resection for curative treatment. While open approaches are common, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resections remain unknown. Methods This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study with patients undergoing liver resection for hepatic AE at the ...

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with chest wall metastasis: a case report. [PDF]
Front Med (Lausanne)Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis infection, predominantly colonizes the liver and may metastasize to the lungs or brain in advanced stages. Involvement of extrapulmonary sites such as the chest wall or subcutaneous tissues is exceedingly rare, even in endemic regions.
