TL;DR: The authors review the laboratory techniques used for diagnosis of echinococcosis (IFL, IHA, IEP, ES, ELISA) with emphasis on the value and standardization of the antigens utilized.
Abstract: The authors review the laboratory techniques used for diagnosis of echinococcosis (IFL, IHA, IEP, ES, ELISA) with emphasis on the value and standardization of the antigens utilized. The specificity of these tests makes it possible to differentiate hydatidosis from alveolar hydatid disease.

TL;DR: Infection of man by Echinococcus multilocularis occurs relatively seldom, most commonly localizing in the liver in the manner of a malignant tumour.
Abstract: Der parasitare Befall des Menschen durch einen Echinokokkus alveolaris ist relativ selten und manifestiert sich fast ausschlieslich in der Leber in der Art eines malignen Tumors. Anhand einer Fallbeobachtung, bei dem eine ausgedehnte Obstruktion der Gallenwege mit groser Zerfallshohle in der Leber nachzuweisen war, werden Epidemiologie, Klinik und Rontgensymptome besprochen. Infection of man by Echinococcus multilocularis occurs relatively seldom, most commonly localizing in the liver in the manner of a malignant tumour. A case of alveolar hydatid disease is reported presenting with extensive biliary obstruction, and a large cavitation in the liver due to necrosis. A review of epidemiology, clinical and roentgenological findings is given.

TL;DR: This patient from rural India was diagnosed to have hydatid cyst disease, on the basis of CT image morphology and a positive immunoblot test (95% specific).
Abstract: The diagnosis of hydatid cyst disease was made for the case presented in the December 2006 Aperture based on this computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen. The CT shows the presence of two large hydatid cysts, along with daughter cysts, in the right lobe of the liver.
Hydatid disease is caused by the Echinococcus species, of which E. granulosis (cystic hydatid disease) and E. multilocularis (alveolar hydatid disease) are the most important. E. vogeli and E. oligarthus, both of which cause polycystic hydatid disease, are rare and are seen primarily in Central and South America.
This patient from rural India was diagnosed to have hydatid cyst disease, on the basis of CT image morphology and a positive immunoblot test (95% specific). He is currently being treated conservatively with Albendazole.
