Disseminated alveolar echinococcosis resembling metastatic malignancy: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Alveolar echinococcosis is a potentially lethal zoonosis caused by larval forms of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Humans are aberrant intermediate hosts who become infected by ingestion of egg-contaminated food or water or via ...

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.

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
An unprecedented high‐resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci is obtained, revealing the dynamic functions of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The transition of parasite control strategy from “active killing” to “negative segregation” by the host may provide instructive insights into ...

Can contrast-enhanced ultrasound differentiate the type of hepatic echinococcosis: cystic echinococcosis or alveolar echinococcosis?

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Hepatic echinococcosis (HE) is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus, and Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis are the most common, causing cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), respectively.

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis (Adv. Sci. 18/2025)

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
Echinococcus Multilocularis In article number 2405914, Wan‐Zhong Jia, Junhua Li, Hong‐Bin Yan, and co‐workers decipher the shift in host (Nezha) immune response strategies from “active killing” to “negative segregation” during Echinococcus multilocularis hepatic infection.

The initial stage of alveolar echinococcosis is a diagnostic challenge: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare, potentially fatal parasitosis with the main manifestation site in the liver. Diagnosis already in the initial stage of the disease is important to prevent further exacerbation and possible secondary ...

A Large Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst: A Cause of Recurrence and What to Consider in Their Management

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Retroperitoneal hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus granulosus is a rare clinical condition that can occur primarily or synchronously with other location. We present a 47‐year‐old man with a recurrent retroperitoneal echinococcal cyst, complaining of pain in the right lumbar region.

Disseminated Alveolar Echinococcosis.

Albanian Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2021
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. In humans, E. alveolaris metacestode cells proliferate in the liver inducing a hepatic disorder that mimics liver cancer and can spread to other organs.

Histopathological assessment of the viability of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

Histopathology, Volume 85, Issue 6, Page 857-867, December 2024.
Decay of Echinococcosis multilocularis was analysed and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)‐based histological criteria for viability assessment were defined. Subsequently, the use of mAbEm18, a well‐established serological viability marker, was validated for immunohistochemistry, revealing that mAbEm18‐immunohistochemistry (IHC) is also reliable for ...

Contradictory Role of Gadd45β in Liver Diseases

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 23, December 2024.
ABSTRACT There are three homologous proteins (α, β and γ) in the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 (Gadd45) family. These proteins act as cellular responders to physiological and environmental stimuli. Gadd45β plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Liver injury and growth stimulation increase expression of Gadd45β, which promotes
