Primary intraperitoneal hydatid cyst presenting with abdominal distension: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
Maharajgunj Medical Campus, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Electronic address:
Introduction: Peritoneal hydatid disease accounts for 2-13 % of abdominal hydatidosis cases. Due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and potential for multi-organ involvement, the condition is often misdiagnosed. Evidence on managing primary peritoneal hydatid cysts remains limited, presenting challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University, Bengbu, 233000, China.
Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a serious condition that can be life-threatening, and this study investigates the effect of a protein called EgAgB, derived from a tapeworm, on sepsis outcomes in mice.
- Researchers induced sepsis in mice and injected them with a recombinant version of the EgAgB protein, observing changes in survival rates, inflammation markers, and organ damage.
- The results showed that rEgAgB treatment significantly improved survival rates and reduced inflammation in crucial organs, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent in managing sepsis.

Echinococcosis represents a major public health issue and continues to be endemic in various regions around the world. Hydatid cysts are commonly located in the liver (primary site), followed by the lungs (secondary site). However, they are also found in less typical organs such as the spleen, kidneys, peritoneum, retroperitoneum, pancreas, gallbladder, and various other organs, as well as in striate muscles.

Division of Liver Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a serious disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis, primarily affecting the liver and evading the host's immune response, though the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
- A combination of human and mouse studies was conducted to analyze immune markers (PD-1 and CTLA-4) in tissues from infected patients and to find out how the parasite causes immunosuppression.
- Results showed that E. multilocularis uses pathways involving PD-1 and CTLA-4 to modify T cell functions, allowing it to avoid immune detection, highlighting potential targets for future research on treating AE.
Management of a liver hydatid cyst patient who fistulized the diaphragm and subsequently presented with thorax rupture: a case report.
J Cardiothorac Surg
October 2024
Department of General Surgery, Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Sanliurfa, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Hydatid cysts are caused by a tiny parasite called Echinococcus and are often found in places like Turkey, mostly in the liver or lungs.
- These cysts can break open and cause serious problems like allergic reactions or infection, which is why it's important to catch them early and treat them quickly.
- The study talks about a rare case where a 24-year-old guy, who had surgery for a hydatid cyst before, ended up needing emergency surgery because his cyst burst and affected his chest; luckily, he did not have any major complications afterwards.
