Cestodes

Abstract: This article deals with cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis in humans caused by the cestode parasites Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. The life cycles of these parasites and their epidemiologic aspects are briefly discussed, and a detailed review is presented on clinical aspects of the diseases, including diagnosis and therapy. Considerable progress has been made in chemotherapy but the results are not yet satisfactory. A new alternative for treatment of CE is punctur… Show more

“…When recurrent disease occurs, additional surgeries are likely associated with increased rates of operative morbidity and mortality (35) . Recurrence occurs due to inadequate cyst removal or previously undetected cysts (36) . In the current study, no recurrence of cysts was reported during the 7-year follow-up period for the 17 patients in Group III, who underwent a partial cystectomy and omentoplasty.…”

“…This is particularly well illustrated by the capacity of the parasite for indefinite perpetuation in the larval stage by the passage of protoscoleces or germinal layer material in rodents (secondary hydatidosis; Howell and Smyth, 1995). In AE caused by the metacestode of E. multilocularis, the proliferating larval parasite has an infiltrative capacity to establish distant foci of infection due to the distribution via blood or lymph of detached germinal cells (Ali-Khan et al, 1983;Ammann and Eckert, 1996;Eckert et al, 1983;Mehlhorn et al, 1983, Fig. 7; and see later).…”

“…Proliferation continues indefinitely although there are few if any protoscoleces produced (Moro and Schantz, 2009;Rausch and Wilson, 1973). The larval mass proliferates peripherally and at the same time regressive changes occur centrally (Ammann and Eckert, 1996;Moro and Schantz, 2009). Thus a progressively enlarging mass of necrotic tissue with a relatively thin zone of viable proliferating parasite is produced.…”

“…Antihelmintik tedavide albendazol ya da mebendazol gibi benzimidazoller kullanı-lır. Doz ve tedavi süresi olarak standartize edilmiş bir süreç olmamakla birlikte, haftalık dinlenme aralarıyla aylık kürler halinde 3-6 ay devam edilmesi önerilmektedir (7,8). Ameliyat sonrası dönemde cerrahi iyileşmenin hemen ardından hastamıza albendazole tedavisi başlandı ve 3 ay süre ile devam ettirildi.…”
