“…Our study showed also multiple organ involvement in 26% of patients and the combination of liver and lung involvement was the highest (n=3; 16%). In some published reports, multiple organ involvement was ranged from 7.1% to 12% [4,7,16], and combined liver and lung HD were in 10.0% [18], and 19.3% [19] of patients.…”

Hydatid disease (HD) is a zoonotic infection caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It is a worldwide health problem causing significant socioeconomic impact. This retrospective study included 19 patients diagnosed with HD at a university medical center between 2007 and 2019 in Western Region of Saudi Arabia. There were 68% (n=13) males and 32% (n=6) females (mean age 40 ± 17 years). The clinical presentations were variable and non-specific. The affected organs were as follows: liver (68%), lung (32%), soft tissue (11%), peritoneal nodule (5%), kidney (5%), and brain (5%). Multiple organ involvement and combined liver and lung were seen in 26% (n=5) and 16% (n=3) of the patients, respectively. The mean diameter of cyst was 8.98 ± 1.77 cm. Serology confirmatory test was positive in 95% (n=18) of the patients. Blood eosinophilia was noticed in 32% (n=6) of the patients. Histopathological and cytological features include laminated cyst wall, inner germinal layer and protoscolices. Management included cyst resection or PAIR (Puncture, Aspiration, Injection of protoscolicidal agent and Re-aspiration) technique combined with anthelmintic drugs. The overall recurrence rate was 7.5% and 60% for surgery and PAIR, respectively. Overall mortality rate was 0%. In conclusion, considering that there is no pathognomonic clinical feature for HD, it may lead to confusion and delaying in diagnosis. Good history including exposure to dogs in the endemic areas, good imaging modalities and the proper use of serology might help for suspecting HD. The histopathological findings are valuable in confirming diagnosis of HD.

“…17 In addition, possible factors that affect the development of CE 18 and hospital stay 19 must be considered. 19 The hospital stay due to surgical interventions in patients with confirmatory diagnosis of echinococcosis can vary considerably, depending on the stage and progression of the disease, 8,20 and especially in the presence of complication due to rupture and/or infection of the hydatid cyst. Some authors have indicated that early diagnosis of echinococcosis is the most important way to reduce complications, 21 and therefore surgical treatment and hospital stay, which generate three times the cost of health services, compared to those who receive only pharmacological treatment and without hospitalization.…”

Genetic characterization of human hydatid cysts shows coinfection by Echinococcus canadensis G7 and Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto G1 in Argentina

Human cystic echinococcosis caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) is a highly endemic disease in the province of Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina. Human infections with E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) G1 and Echinococcus canadensis G6 were reported in Neuquén in previous studies, whereas four genotypes were identified in livestock: G1, G3, G6, and G7. The aim of this study was to identify the genotypes of E. granulosus s.l. isolates from humans of Neuquén province, Patagonia, Argentina, through the 2005-2014 period. Twenty six hydatid cysts were obtained from 21 patients. The most frequent locations were the liver and lungs. Single cysts were observed in 81.0% of patients, and combined infection of liver and lungs was detected in 9.5% of cases. Partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) genes identified the presence of E. granulosus s.s. G1 (n = 11; 42.3%) including three different partial sequences; E. canadensis G6 (n = 14; 53.8%) and E. canadensis G7 (n = 1; 3.9%). Coinfection with G1 and G7 genotypes was detected in one patient who harbored three liver cysts. Most of the liver cysts corresponded to G1 and G6 genotypes. This study presents the first report in the Americas of a human infection with E. canadensis G7 and the second worldwide report of a coinfection with two different species and genotypes of E. granulosus s.l in humans. The molecular diversity of this parasite should be considered to redesign or improve the control program strategies in endemic regions.
