This infection is characterized by the growth in internal organ parenchymae of fluid-filled structures (hydatids) that elicit surprisingly little inflammation in spite of their massive size and persistence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At the time of referral, the patient was wheelchair bound and unable to walk by herself (Frankel Grade C). Standard antiinfectious therapy of Echinococcus granulosus requires a minimum treatment period of 3 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hydatid disease, albeit rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 32-year-old woman was admitted to hospital complaining of right upper quadrant and epigastrium abdominal pain, and nausea. On routine physical examination an abdominal mass was discovered on the right upper quadrant. Liver tests were normal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Initial symptoms include abdominal pain, jaundice, hepatomegaly, sometimes fever and anaemia, weight loss, and pleural pain ( 3, 48, 178 ). The advanced stage is characterized by severe hepatic dysfunction, often associated with portal hypertension. [doi.org]

On routine physical examination an abdominal mass was discovered on the right upper quadrant. Liver tests were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen revealed a low-density cystic mass. A cystectomy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The main clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, palpable abdominal masses, loss of weight, jaundice, hepatomegaly, anaemia, fever, hemoptysis (in cases of lung involvement), and, in about 25% of patients, signs of portal hypertension and biliary [doi.org]

Evidence is accumulating that in parts of Europe the fox population densities have increased in recent years ( 23 ), possibly due to reduced fox mortality after the introduction of anti-rabies vaccination. [doi.org]

At the time of referral, the patient was wheelchair bound and unable to walk by herself (Frankel Grade C). Standard antiinfectious therapy of Echinococcus granulosus requires a minimum treatment period of 3 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the scolicidal efficacies of synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from the aqueous aerial extract of Penicillium aculeatum against protoscolices of CHD in-vitro. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An average anticestodal activity was observed with different endophytic fungal strains, that is, Nigrospora (479 2.9), Colletotrichum (469 25.8), Fusarium (355 14.5), and Chaetomium (332 28.3) showing 64 to 70% protoscolicidal activity, except Pestalotiopsis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The protein, named EA21, has close homology with Malassezia furfur cyclophilin allergen (Mal f 6) and with human cyclophilin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Liver biopsy samples from patients with steatohepatitis (SH, n 11) and chronic hepatitis (CH, n 11) were used as non-inflammatory and chronic inflammatory controls, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
