Kidney invasion occurred 2 years following liver transplantation for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a case report [PDF]
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.

Advances in the pharmacological treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: From laboratory to clinic [PDF]
Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis. Because of its characteristics of diffuse infiltration and growth similar to tumors, the disability rate and mortality rate are ...

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a diagnostic challenge
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.

Massive sympathetic nerve infiltration in advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Background Alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease that mostly affects the liver, with vascular invasion and a protean clinical symptom. However, no reports of sympathetic nerve infiltration in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis have been reported ...

Collateral circulation caused by end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis [PDF]
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.

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis infection induces a decrease in NK cell function through high expression of NKG2A in patients [PDF]
Echinococcus 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
