Clinical Information

  • Echinococcosis

    an infection caused by the infestation of the larval form of tapeworms of the genus echinococcus. the liver, lungs, and kidney are the most common areas of infestation.

  • Echinococcosis, Hepatic

    liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus echinococcus, such as echinococcus granulosus or echinococcus multilocularis. ingested echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. the larval migration to the liver via the portal vein leads to watery vesicles (hydatid cyst).

  • Echinococcosis, Pulmonary

    helminth infection of the lung caused by echinococcus granulosus or echinococcus multilocularis.

    a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae of echinococcus. it affects livestock and humans. it is characterized by the formation of hydatid cysts mainly in the liver, lungs, spleen, and kidneys. rupture of the cysts may lead to shock.

Patient Education


Parasitic Diseases

Parasites are living things that use other living things - like your body - for food and a place to live. You can get them from contaminated food or water, a bug bite, or sexual contact. Some parasitic diseases are easily treated and some are not.

Parasites range in size from tiny, one-celled organisms called protozoa to worms that can be seen with the naked eye. Some parasitic diseases occur in the United States. Contaminated water supplies can lead to Giardia infections. Cats can transmit toxoplasmosis, which is dangerous for pregnant women. Others, like malaria, are common in other parts of the world.

If you are traveling, it's important to drink only water you know is safe. Prevention is especially important. There are no vaccines for parasitic diseases. Some medicines are available to treat parasitic infections.
