Disease relevance of Echinococcosis, Hepatic

Two cases of formalin toxicity developed within 5 to 10 minutes of the placement of packs soaked in formalin within hepatic hydatid cysts [1].
Spontaneous rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst causing inferior vena cava thrombosis [2].

High impact information on Echinococcosis, Hepatic

Percutaneous drainage versus albendazole therapy in hepatic hydatidosis: a prospective, randomized study [3].
Cimetidine increases serum mebendazole concentrations. Implications for treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts [4].
Humoral and cellular immunity in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. A 2 year follow-up with and without flubendazole treatment [5].
To determine the plasmatic and intracystal concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide (AS) and correlate them with the viability of the scolices in patients surgically treated for hepatic hydatid cysts (HHC) that received albendazole preoperatively, as an indirect way of evaluating the scolicide efficacy of the drug [6].
Percutaneous needle aspiration, injection, and reaspiration with or without benzimidazole coverage for uncomplicated hepatic hydatid cysts [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Echinococcosis, Hepatic

We recommend the preoperative use of mebendazole in the management of hepatic hydatid cysts [8].
