Surgical Management of Cystic Pelvic Hydatid Bone Disease Using Additively Manufactured Customized Implants for Salvage Reconstruction: A Report of Two Cases.

The diagnosis and treatment of pelvic bone hydatidosis (BH) present substantial challenges for orthopedic surgeons, requiring collaboration with parasitologists, radiologists, pathologists, and engineers. Surgical treatment selection depends on factors such as the extent of bone loss, soft tissue management, previously applied therapies, and local colonization status. This report details the advanced management of two young patients diagnosed late with severe cystic pelvic BH, an atypical presentation due to their geographic origin and age.

Visceral larva Migrans in a Young Italian Patient: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Background: The association of fever, focal hepatic lesions and peripheral hyper-eosinophilia (FHLH) can be observed in both infectious and non-infectious conditions. Fascioliasis, capillariasis, toxocariasis, all causes of visceral larva migrans (VLM), represent most of the former, whilst lymphomas, eosinophilic leukemias and mastocytosis belong in the non-infectious conditions.

Methods: We prospectively followed a young patient presenting with FHLH in the Tuscany region of Italy.

Complicated Clinical Course of a Patient with Multivisceral Cystic Echinococcosis Requiring Extensive Surgical and Medical Treatment.

Cystic echinococcosis is an often-overlooked condition that otherwise negatively impacts both the individual and the community, prompting major public health concerns. Early diagnosis and treatment, as well as collaboration between specialties including surgery and parasitology, are essential for avoiding complications and disease relapse. To better illustrate this, we present the case of an elderly person with a rare localization of the disease at the muscular level.

The European Register of Cystic Echinococcosis, ERCE: state-of-the-art five years after its launch.

Background: The real burden of human cystic echinococcosis (CE) remains elusive, due to the peculiar characteristics of the disease and the heterogeneous and incomplete data recording of clinical cases. Furthermore, official notification systems do not collect pivotal clinical information, which would allow the comparison of different treatment outcomes, and thus circumvent the difficulty of implementing clinical trials for CE. The Italian Register of CE (RIEC) was launched in 2012 and expanded in 2014 into the European Register of CE (ERCE).

Achievements of the HERACLES Project on Cystic Echinococcosis.

The FP7 project 'Human Cystic Echinococcosis ReseArch in CentraL and Eastern Societies' (HERACLES), developed between 2013 and 2018 by nine partners in five countries, is one of the largest projects on cystic echinococcosis. Here we present the core HERACLES achievements, which should help to foster the translation of scientific investigations on health policies.

Imaging of toxocariasis.

Parasitäre Erkrankungen werden in Europa relativ selten diagnostiziert und behandelt. Somit sind auch klinische Besonderheiten und bildgebende Merkmale weniger bekannt. In den heutigen Zeiten von Migration und weltweiter Flüchtlingsströme ist die Kenntnis parasitärer Infektionen zunehmend von Bedeutung.

Cystic Echinococcosis of the Bone: A European Multicenter Study.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm . In humans, the infection induces the formation of parasitic cysts mostly in the liver and lungs, but virtually any organ can be affected. CE of the bone is one of the rarest forms of the disease, yet it is also extremely debilitating for patients and hard to manage for clinicians.

Epidemiology of taeniosis/cysticercosis in Europe, a systematic review: eastern Europe.

Background: Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are food-borne parasites of global importance. In eastern Europe only fragmented information is available on the epidemiology of these zoonotic parasites in humans and animal populations. In particular for T.

New Options in the Management of Cystic Echinococcosis - A Single Centre Experience Using Minimally Invasive Techniques.

Objective: The aim of this study is to verify if the experience on 4 years in using minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of CE could match regarding the indications and results with the major studies on topic.

Method: During 03.2014 - 03.

The first meeting of the European Register of Cystic Echinococcosis (ERCE).

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease endemic in southern and eastern European countries. The true prevalence of CE is difficult to estimate due to the high proportion of asymptomatic carriers who never seek medical attention and to the underreporting of diagnosed cases, factors which contribute to its neglected status. In an attempt to improve this situation, the European Register of Cystic Echinococcosis (ERCE), was launched in October 2014 in the context of the HERACLES project.

[Hydatidosis relapse in children--clinical and epidemiological study].

This study is a retrospective inquiry among children operated for hydatid cyst which were diagnosed with at least one relapse episode. The study-group consisted of 160 children out of which 110 were submitted to at least one surgical procedure and 35 out of 110O presented hydatidosis relapses. The post-operative monitorization of children with hydatidosis must be extended over a 2-year-period (69.

[Significance of fever following a trip to a tropical region].

Fever occurring during or after a period of time spent in a tropical area is an important element for both patient and the doctor attending him and having to cope with a varied differential diagnosis. First of all, it should be appreciated whether or not the case is an emergency, the admittance in the hospital being compulsory, or the case can be investigated in ambulatory. The differentiation between a "tropical fever" and a common one should be rapidly done, as certain tropical diseases have to be notified and isolation of the patient, identification of the new cases and contacts are recommended.
