Résumé
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is caused by the cestodes of the Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato complex and, in the majority of cases, is associated with hepatic or pulmonary involvement. Human CE is not thought to be endemic in Ireland. We describe the first reported case of human CE possibly acquired in Ireland.
