Background: To correlate the appearance of Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) hepatic lesions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as defined by Kodama, to metabolic activity visualized 18-Fluoro-DeoxyGlucose Positron Emission Tomography combined with Computed (PET/CT).Methods: Forty-two patients (25 men; mean age: 62.2) diagnosed AE and who underwent both MRI PET/CT were included.Three independent readers blinded regard information, divided forty-two into five types according Kodama's...
Abstract Surveillance for alveolar echinococcosis in central Europe was initiated 1998. On a voluntary basis, 559 patients were reported to the registry. Most cases originated from rural communities regions eastern France western Austria; single far away disease-“endemic” zone throughout Europe. Of 210 patients, 61.4% involved vocational or part-time farming, gardening, forestry, hunting. Patients diagnosed at mean age of 52.5 years; 78% had symptoms. Alveolar primarily manifested as liver...
Echinococcoses require the involvement of specialists from nearly all disciplines; standardization terminology used in field is thus crucial. To harmonize echinococcosis on sound scientific and linguistic grounds, World Association Echinococcosis launched a Formal Consensus process. Under coordination Steering Writing Group (SWG), Consultation Rating (CRG) had main missions (1) providing input list terms drafted by SWG, taking into account available literature participants' experience; (2)...
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the metacestode of fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is most pathogenic zoonosis in temperate and arctic regions northern hemisphere. Prospective collection human cases some areas mass screenings using ultrasound imaging confirmation with serological techniques have markedly improved our knowledge epidemiology disease humans during past two decades. Transmission occurs when eggs tapeworm, excreted final hosts (usually foxes but also dogs,...
Background. An increased incidence of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in patients with immunosuppression (IS) has been observed; our aim was to study this association and its characteristics. Methods. Fifty AE cases IS-associated conditions (ISCs) before or at diagnosis were collected from the French registry (1982–2012, 509 cases). There 30 cancers, 9 malignant hematological disorders, 14 chronic inflammatory diseases, 5 transplants, 1 case AIDS; had ≥2 ISCs. Characteristics 42 IS/AE 187...
Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry Health estimated that 380,000 people had disease region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau highly co-endemic with both alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic (CE). past years, government has been increasing financial support to control diseases this Therefore, it very important identify significant risk factors by reviewing studies done region decade help policymakers design...
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, is a zoonotic helminthic disease that can mimic malignancy. In the 1970s, foci of were found in central China. The aim present study was to estimate prevalence AE humans 2 districts south Gansu Province, China, use ultrasound and serology. After answering an epidemiological questionnaire, 2,482 volunteers from 28 villages underwent ultrasound. Serology via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibody activity performed on...
