Résumé

Recent experimental data has revealed that the course of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) depends on adaptive immunity. For this study, we aimed to analyze the incidence and outcome of AE in immunocompromised humans. Retrospective analysis of 131 patients with a median age of 54 years treated for AE between 1971 and 2017 at a Swiss tertiary referral Centre. Fifty-two percent were females and 65 patients (50%) were diagnosed incidentally. Fourteen patients (16%) were operated on laparoscopically. Overall, median follow-up was 48 months. New diagnoses have increased fourfold in immunocompetent and tenfold in immunocompromised patients in the past decade ( The incidence of human AE has increased over the last 2 decades with surgical interventions resulting in excellent outcomes. We have observed an association of immunosuppressive conditions with both incidence and survival of AE eventually justifying the implementation of a screening program for patients at risk in endemic regions.
