Cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic infection mainly impacting people living in low- and middle-income countries. Infection may lead to cyst development within organs, pain, non-specific symptoms or ...
To assess the benefits and harms of medication, percutaneous and surgical interventions for treating uncomplicated hepatic cystic echinococcosis....
We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, two other databases and two trial registries to 4 May 2023. We searched the reference lists of included studies, and contacted experts and researchers in the field for re...
We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in people with a diagnosis of uncomplicated hepatic cystic echinococcosis of World Health Organization (WHO) cyst stage CE1, CE2, CE3a or CE3b comparing...
We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcomes were symptom improvement, recurrence, inactive cyst at 12 months and all-cause mortality at 30 days. Our secondary outcomes were development of ...
We included three RCTs with 180 adults and children with hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Two studies enrolled people aged 5 to 72 years, and one study enrolled children aged 6 to 14 years. One study co...
Percutaneous and surgical interventions combined with albendazole can be used to treat uncomplicated hepatic cystic echinococcosis; however, there is a scarcity of randomised evidence directly compari...
Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), as a benign parasitic disease with malignant infiltrative activity, grows slowly in the liver, allowing sufficient time for collateral vessels to emerge in the p...
The portal vein (PV), hepatic vein and hepatic artery were observed by enhanced CT and the inferior vena cava (IVC) by angiography, respectively. Analysis of the anatomical characteristics of the coll...
33, 5, 12 and 1 patients were included in the formation of collateral vessels in PV, hepatic vein, IVC and hepatic artery, respectively. PV collateral vessels were divided into two categories accordin...
Due to its special biological nature, HAE exhibited unique collateral vessels that were rarely seen in other diseases. An in-depth study would be of great help to improve our understanding related to ...
A complex liver lesion presents a significant challenge in terms of diagnosis and management. This case is an illustrative example, highlighting the steps involved in managing such complex scenarios. ...
Endocystectomy is a conservative surgical approach to managing cystic echinococcosis. Bile leakage is the main complication of this technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associa...
Patients who underwent endocystectomy between 2005 and 2020 were included. The preoperative characteristics, intra- and postoperative outcomes, hospital costs, and cost efficiency (the Diagnosis-Relat...
Endocystectomy is a safe and efficient technique. Preoperative and intraoperative cysto-biliary fistulas and a cyst diameter larger than 8 cm are correlated to postoperative bile leakage. Early operat...
There is a significant focus on the role of the host microbiome in different outcomes of human parasitic diseases, including cystic echinococcosis (CE). This study was conducted to identify the intest...
Hepatic echinococcosis is a severe endemic disease in some underdeveloped rural areas worldwide. Qualified physicians are in short supply in such areas, resulting in low rates of accurate diagnosis of...
We developed EDAM, an echinococcosis diagnostic AI system, to provide accurate and generalisable CT analysis for distinguishing hepatic echinococcosis from hepatic cysts and normal controls (no liver ...
EDAM showed reliable performance in patient-level diagnosis on both the internal testing data (overall area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0·974 [95% CI 0·936-0·994]; accurac...
EDAM is a clinically applicable AI system that can provide patient-level diagnoses with interpretable results. The accuracy and generalisation ability of EDAM demonstrates its potential for clinical u...

The organ most commonly invaded in echinococcosis is the liver; the lungs, brain, kidneys, heart, and spleen are rarely invaded, and multi-organ involvement in echinococcosis is even rarer. No studies...
We report here a case of renal invasion 2 years after allogeneic liver transplantation in a 53-year-old female patient with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis combined with lung metastases. At the time o...
This study suggests that extra attention should be paid to the presence of cryptogenic lesions in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis who already have definite metastatic lesions. Immunosupp...
We present dynamic 18 F-FDG PET/CT acquisition in a 52-year-old old woman with histologically proven hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Metabolic rate of FDG images generated with traditional and r...
The aim of our review is to summarize specific clinical, diagnostic and treatment aspects of pulmonary cystic echinococcosis. The lung is the organ second most affected by cystic echinococcosis with a...
Cystic echinococcosis is one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Development of new diagnostics and treatment modalities is hampered by low investment into research and is accordingly slow....
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for pulmonary cystic echinococcosis cysts. Parenchyma-sparing surgical techniques should be used whenever possible. Albendazole induces decay of the parasitic cyst...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of two-step vascular exclusion and in situ hypothermic portal perfusion in patients with end-stage hepatic hydatidosis....
This study involved patients with advanced hepatic hydatid disease undergoing surgical treatment between 2022 and 2023, which included resection and reconstruction of the hepatic veins, inferior vena ...
We included 7 patients with advanced hepatic hydatid disease who underwent surgical resection using two-step vascular exclusion and in situ hypothermic portal perfusion. The mean duration of surgery w...
