Report of Four Cases of Neotropical Polycystic Equinococcosis Caused by Echinococcus vogeli in Colombia
Tóm tắt
The purpose is to report and describe four cases of Echinococcus vogeli hydatidosis in Colombia. Four E. vogeli polycystic hydatidosis cases are presented, two males and two females, aged 18 to 68 years old, from four separate forest Colombian regions. The initial diagnosis of the cystic disease was radiologically obtained, and parasite presence was confirmed through study of the histological material. The locations of the cysts were hepatic in three cases and mesenteric in the other. Surgical resection was performed on all four patients, complemented by albendazole in two of them. Review of clinical findings, diagnoses, and treatment for E. vogeli hydatidosis.
