The contribution of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cyst
Conclusion: We insist on the interest of bronchoscopy in the positive diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cysts, especially when they are ruptured or remodeled.

Pulmonary hydatid disease: clinical and radiographic features
Human echinococcosis is a parasitic infection spread by dogs in livestock-farming areas. Hydatidosis constitutes a major public health issue in North Africa. Our objective was to study clinical, radiological, and therapeutic features of complicated or multiple pulmonary hydatid cyst. This is a retrospective study (2016-2021) including patients referred to the Ibn Nafis Pulmonology department of Abdurrahman Mami Hospital in Tunisia.We studied 10 women and 8 men with a mean age of 51 years. Medical history revealed contact with livestock guardian dogs in 10 cases (72% of the patients came from rural areas). Patients presente...

Incidental Finding of Schistosomiasis Mimicking as Endometriosis
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the eggs shed by adult trematode worms predominantly endemic to Africa and Middle East (2, 4). The infection occurs when skin is placed in direct contact with contaminated freshwater, i.e., wadding, swimming, bathing or washing in these contaminated waters (1). Most acute phase infections are asymptomatic but others may experience fever, chills, cough, and/or muscle aches within the first 1-2 months of infection (1). Chronic infection, greater than 10-12 weeks, can lead to abdominal pain, enlarged liver, intestine, lungs, and bladder damage (1).

Case of the Week 683
Answer to Case 683:Cryptosporidiumsp. oocystsThe following OUTSTANDING discussion is from our guest author, Hadel Go, a third year medical student with a strong interest in clinical parasitology._________________________________________We received some excellent feedback! Thank you all for leaving comments on the blog, on Twitter, and on LinkedIn.Yes, these areCryptosporidium oocysts. These protozoans can be identified by their size and consistent red color on modified acid-fast staining of stool samples. They can also be diagnosed from H&E stained tissue biopsies (see images here:Cryptosporidium, parasitewonders.com),...

Fulminant amebic colitis with fatal outcome in a patient with probable SARS-CoV-2 infection
We report the case of a 62-year-old male with cough and abdominal pain for two weeks, associated with pulmonary tomographic findings compatible with probable infection by SARS-CoV-2, and who received high doses of early corticotherapy as an outpatient. The patient showed clinical deterioration, was hospitalized and died in the immediate postoperative period due to acute surgical abdomen. The anatomopathological study showed parasitic structures with characteristics compatible with amebae, which was pointed to as the cause of a complicated acute fulminant colitis, with multiple perforations and acute peritonitis. Acute fulm...
