Hepatic echinococcosis: A review. [PDF]
Ann Med Surg (Lond), 2018 Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm and transmitted by dogs. E. granulosus are common parasites in certain parts of the world, and are present on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.

Cardiac echinococcosis secondary to hepatic echinococcosis: a rare case report. [PDF]
Cardiovasc Diagn Ther, 2022 Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic parasitic infection, which is very rare in developed countries. It can affect all internal organs, while cardiac echinococcosis is extremely rare, especially in children. Slowly enlarging hydatid cyst usually remains asymptomatic until the size or space occupying effects the involved organ and induces symptoms ...

Severe hypernatremia in children after surgical resection of hepatic echinococcosis: a rare and potentially fatal complication [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2021 Background Using effective scolicidal agents intraoperatively is essential to lessen the recurrence rate of hepatic echinococcosis. However, severe hypernatremia may occur after hypertonic saline (HS) has been applied as the scolicidal agent.
