Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a diagnostic challenge

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.

Treatment options for hepatic cystic echinococcosis [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005
A number of surgical and non-surgical options exist to treat cystic echinococcosis of the liver. For decades, surgical excision via a conservative or radical approach was the recommended approach for hepatic hydatid cysts. The availability of chemotherapeutic agents with significant activity against Echinococcus granulosis has made it possible to ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the

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

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.
