Medically Managed Locally Acquired Pulmonary Cystic Echinococcosis With Bacterial Superinfection in Northern Canada: A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Primary pulmonary cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease often caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato complex. Although rare in North America, it can present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Case Presentation: We report a 36‐year‐old male from Quebec, Canada, with locally acquired primary pulmonary CE who ...

Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Despite being relatively common in endemic settings, amoebic liver abscesses are rarely diagnosed in high‐resource countries, where they are usually imported by migrants or travelers to endemic areas. Between 2010 and 2024, we observed two cases of amoebic liver abscess that were successfully managed in a tertiary‐care center in Italy.

A deep learning radiomics model based on CT images for predicting the biological activity of hepatic cystic echinococcosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
Introduction: Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) is a widely seen parasitic infection. Biological activity is crucial for treatment planning. This work aims to explore the potential applications of a deep learning radiomics (DLR) model, based on CT ...

Current status of diagnosis and treatment of hepatic echinococcosis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Hepatology, 2016
Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) infections are the most common parasitic diseases that affect the liver. The disease course is typically slow and the patients tend to remain asymptomatic for many years. Often the diagnosis is incidental.

Multimodal Treatment of a Spontaneously Ruptured Echinococcus Cyst of the Spleen and Its Complications

open access: yesCase Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid cyst, is a parasitic infection of mammals that can affect any organ. Although the diagnosis of primary splenic echinococcosis is challenging, especially in nonendemic areas, it can be life‐saving because an anaphylactic shock may occur when the cyst ruptures.
