Alveolar and cystic echinococcosis are highly endemic in the Kyrgyz Republic. This report documents the numbers of recorded cases of these two diseases that have been reported in the past 14 years. The number of cases of echinococcosis has increased from approximately 550 to 1044 cases in 2013. This is an increase in incidence from 11.3 to 18.3 cases per 100,000 annually. In 2000 no cases of al...

Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences Cystic Echinococcosis. It usually due to spread cysts from other regions leading secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement any organs even rarer. We report an unusual case female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) incidental finding Isolated absence organ. Patient un...

Cystic echinococcosis is a chronically severe parasitic disease of humans and animals caused by parasitism the larval stage Echinococcus unicameral.Ultrasound (ultrasound) being most widely used option visual diagnostics leading method radiological diagnosis liver other organs. The technique generally available allows diagnosing at when cysts are still small in size, starting from 1.5-2 cm. How...

BACKGROUND Extrahepatic manifestations of Echinococcus multilocularis are very rare, especially in the adrenal glands. To the best of our knowledge, only seven cases of adrenal alveolar echinococcosis have been reported, all from the Far East. All of these occurred exclusively in the right adrenal gland. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of an extrahepatic alveolar echinococcosis in an ...

We screened 3,199 people from Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, China, for abdominal echinococcosis (hydatid disease) by portable ultrasound combined with specific serodiagnostic tests. Both cystic echinococcosis (CE) (Echinococcus granulosus infection) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (E. multilocularis) were co-endemic in this area at the highest village prevalence values recorded anywhere in t...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is parasitic infestation characterized by the development of cyst as a consequence parasitization humans larval stages cestode Echinococcus granulosus. We present case 66 years old man who presented with history dry cough, mild fever and occasional shortness breath for 1 year, which was gradually progressive no chest pain or weight loss. Chest x-ray revealed well-circ...

Hydatid disease (HD) is an infectious disease caused by echinococcosis. Hydatid cyst (HC) most commonly invades the liver (60-70%) and the lungs (20-25%). However, other parts of the body and even unusual locations can be infected, mimicking a benign lesion that could be easily missed. Primary HC of the chest wall is extremely rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We he...

Echinococcus granulosus infections are a major public health problem in livestock-raising regions around the world. The life cycle of this tapeworm is sustained between dogs (definitive host, canine echinococcosis), and herbivores (intermediary host, cystic hydatid disease). Humans may also develop cystic hydatid disease. Echinococcosis is endemic in rural areas of Peru; nevertheless, its prese...
