Cardiac Hydatid Cyst: A Rare but Potentially Life-Threatening Presentation of Hydatid Disease
Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2024 Mar 14;20(2):124-127. doi: 10.14797/mdcvj.1333. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCardiac echinococcosis is a rare and severe manifestation of hydatid disease. It is caused by parasitic infestation by the Echinococcus species and can lead to life-threatening complications. Diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific symptoms, but echocardiography is a highly sensitive diagnostic method. Albendazole treatment is effective in managing these cysts and can be an alternative to surgery. A patient with multiple cardiac hydatid cysts was successfully treated with albendazole, highlighting the importance ...

Coinfection with hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis with abdominal wall abscess and sinus tract formation: A case report
CONCLUSION: Lesions involving the abdominal wall and sinus tract formation, may require radical resection. Long-term prognosis includes albendazole and follow-up examinations.PMID:38495276 | PMC:PMC10941752 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v16.i2.279 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)

Epidemiological survey of cystic echinococcosis in southwest China: From the Qinghai-Tibet plateau to the area of Yunnan
CONCLUSION: Cases of echinococcosis were reported throughout the entire Yunnan province, with the majority distributed in Western Yunnan, suggesting that echinococcosis control should be strengthened in this area. We suggest that an epidemiological investigation should be carried out in the future, based on the clues from newly discovered cases in hospitals or from the CISDCP. The newly discovered cases in the hospital provided clues to comprehensively determine the location of cases and where epidemic spot investigation should be conducted.PMID:38495269 | PMC:PMC10941742 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v16.i2.229 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)
