Renal Echinococcosis is a rare medical entity (2-4%). The preoperative clinical, biological and radiological diagnosis is quite challenging. We report herein the case of a 63 year-old female patient, operated for a suspicious renal cystic mass that resulted full of grape-like cysts intraoperatively.

Parasitic Infections in Pulmonary and ICU Patients: Presentation, Diagnosis, and Treatment.
Chest
November 2024
Infectious Diseases Division, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Parasitic infections in the U.S. primarily affect immigrants and travelers, often leading to delayed diagnoses by physicians unfamiliar with these diseases.
- Nearly 2,000 cases of imported malaria occur annually, with severe symptoms that can mimic bacterial sepsis, and treatment requires careful management to improve survival.
- Strongyloidiasis, endemic in warm regions, can stay dormant for years and worsen if corticosteroids are used, while other infections like cystic echinococcosis and paragonimus present with specific respiratory symptoms and are found in various global regions, including parts of North America.
Diffusely Increased FDG Uptake of the Kidney Caused by Severe Renal Artery Stenosis.
Clin Nucl Med

From the Departments of Nuclear Medicine.
Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis can lead to conditions like renovascular hypertension and ischemic nephropathy, impacting kidney function.
- A case study highlights the use of FDG PET/CT and delayed abdominal FDG PET/MRI imaging to assess a kidney affected by severe renal artery stenosis due to retroperitoneal alveolar echinococcosis.
- The imaging showed increased activity in the renal parenchyma but no activity in the renal collecting system, suggesting that renal artery stenosis should be considered when evaluating diffuse renal parenchymal FDG uptake.

In humans, solitary renal involvement or primary renal echinococcosis is rare, accounting for about 2-4 % of cases. Usually, patients shpw no obvious symptoms, but they can manifest as renal pain, renal mass, gross hematuria, and hydatiduria in rare cases. We report a case of primary renal cystic echinococcosis, which was originally misdiagnosed as a tuberculous renal abscess.

Background: Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinocccus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis and declared a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization. The disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in India, Australia, China, Turkey, South America, the Middle East, and Eastern European countries. Bibliometric analysis is a popular research trend that gains the advantage of evaluating all the studies about one specific topic and emphasizing the importance and place of the subject in the literature.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of two-step vascular exclusion and in situ hypothermic portal perfusion in patients with end-stage hepatic hydatidosis.
Methods: This study involved patients with advanced hepatic hydatid disease undergoing surgical treatment between 2022 and 2023, which included resection and reconstruction of the hepatic veins, inferior vena cava (IVC), and portal vein (PV). We described the technical details of liver resection and vascular reconstruction, as well as the use of two-step vascular exclusion and in situ hypothermic portal perfusion techniques during the vascular reconstruction process.
