Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound examination of the hydatic liver.
TL;DR: Five categories were found, which are thought to correspond to evolutionary stages of the hydatic cyst, which were detected by ultrasound in 121 cases; all cases were confirmed surgically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Socioeconomic Impact of Cystic Echinococcosis
TL;DR: Because the human and economic losses of cystic echinococcosis are substantial, global prevention and control measures should be increased.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical management of cystic echinococcosis: state of the art, problems, and perspectives.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the current management procedures of CE with particular emphasis on the evidence base and setting-specific problems, and concludes that studies carried out in either of the two fundamentally different environments lack external validity.
