Expert consensus for the diagnosis and treatment of cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in humans
TL;DR: Advances in classification and treatment of echinococcosis prompted experts from different continents to review the current literature, discuss recent achievements and provide a consensus on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
European echinococcosis registry: human alveolar echinococcosis, Europe, 1982-2000.
TL;DR: The increasing prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in foxes in rural and urban areas of central Europe and the occurrence of cases outside the alveolar echinococcosis–endemic regions suggest that this disease deserves increased attention.
Book ChapterDOI

Peter Kern,A Menezes da Silva,Okan Akhan,Beat Müllhaupt,K A Vizcaychipi,Christine M. Budke,Dominique A. Vuitton +6 more
TL;DR: A structured stage-specific approach to CE management, based on the World Health Organization ultrasound classification of liver cysts, is now recommended, and includes WHO staging, drug therapy and long-term follow-up for at least a decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-TNF immunotherapy reduces CD8+ T cell-mediated antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans.
Heiko Bruns,Christoph Meinken,Philipp Schauenberg,Georg Härter,Peter Kern,Robert L. Modlin,Christian Antoni,Steffen Stenger +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that anti-TNF therapy triggers a reduction of CD8+ TEMRA cells with antimicrobial activity against M. tuberculosis, providing insight into the mechanism whereby key effector T cell subsets contribute to host defense against tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
