Abstract

PEREZ BEJARANO, Domingo et al. Pulmonary hydatidosis: Case report and endemic prelude to human cystic echinococcosis in Paraguay. Rev. cient. cienc. salud [online]. 2023, vol.5, e5203.  Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 2664-2891.  https://doi.org/10.53732/rccsalud/2023.e5203.

Paraguay is a member of the South American Initiative for the Control and Surveillance of Cystic Echinococcosis. In order to optimize the epidemiological reports on hydatidosis, we present three clinical cases seen in national centers and we carry out a review of the local literature on the topic. From 1969 to date, 70 cases of cystic echinococcosis have been described. Systematic epidemiological studies are required to assess the degree of penetration, geographic distribution, and transmission characteristics of this disease in our country.

Keywords : echinococcosis; echinococcosis pulmonar; echinococcosis hepatic; echinococcus granulosus; zoonoses.
