“…In addition, this complication was frequently associated with co-infections by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Portal hypertensión and cavernomatosis have also been found in patients with CE mainly due to compresion, invasion or portal/suprahepatic thrombosis (formally named Bud Chiari syndrome) [11], [12]. However, it should be noticed that portal hypertension can also be caused by secondary cholangitis sclerosing or secondary biliary cirrhosis after surgical treatment or use of parasiticides [13].…”

BackgroundCystic hydatid disease is still an important health problem in European Mediterranean areas. In spite of being traditionally considered as a “benign” pathology, cystic echinococcosis is an important cause of morbidity in these areas. Nevertheless, there are few analyses of mortality attributed to human hydatidosis.ObjectiveTo describe the epidemiology, the mortality rate and the causes of mortality due to E. granulosus infection in an endemic area.MethodologyA retrospective study followed up over a period of 14 years (1998–2011).Principal FindingsOf the 567 patients diagnosed with hydatid disease over the period 1998–2011, eleven deaths directly related to hydatid disease complications were recorded. Ten patients (90.9%) died due to infectious complications and the remaining one (9.1%) died due to mechanical complications after a massive hemoptysis. We registered a case fatality rate of 1.94% and a mortality rate of 3.1 per 100.000 inhabitants.ConclusionsHydatidosis is still a frequent parasitic disease that causes a considerable mortality. The main causes of mortality in patients with hydatidosis are complications related to the rupture of CE cysts with supurative collangitis. Therefore, an expectant management can be dangerous and it must be only employed in well-selected patients.

“…We searched the literature, but we could not find PAIR as a cause of hemobilia. There was only one case, but in this report hemobilia because of PAIR was only stated at discussion [12] . There was no clear finding that hemobilia had occurred due to PAIR.…”

“…Furthermore, PAIR is not such a method that has no complication. They are very rare but life threatening complications may occur [12] .…”
