A Case Report of Co-infection of Hepatic Cystic and Alveolar Echinococcosis

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Pathogenesis of hepatic Echinococcosis is induced by parasitism of Echinococcus species.Generally speaking, there are two types of the disease--hepatic cystic echinococcosis which is caused by E. granulosus and hepatic alveolar echinococcosis which is caused by E. multilocularis.Either of the two types is much clinically popular.However, simultaneous appearance of both the two types can be rarely seen.In this study, we reported a case of co-infection of both hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis, aiming to offer experience in diagnosing and treating the co-infection by depicting the clinical characteristics, imaging manifestations and therapies.
