Summaries for Cystic Echinococcosis

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 An echinococcosis that is caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Hepatic involvement can result in abdominal pain, a mass in the hepatic area, and biliary duct obstruction. Pulmonary involvement can produce chest pain, cough, and hemoptysis. Rupture of the cysts produce fever, urticaria, eosinophilia, and anaphylactic shock, as well as cyst dissemination. Brain, bone, heart can also be infected.

MalaCards based summary : Cystic Echinococcosis, also known as echinococcus granulosus infection of lung, is related to alveolar echinococcosis and clonorchiasis. An important gene associated with Cystic Echinococcosis is HLA-B (Major Histocompatibility Complex, Class I, B), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Cytokine Signaling in Immune system and Immune response NFAT in immune response. The drugs Metronidazole and Iodine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include liver, thyroid and lung.
