Summary

Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of Alveolar Echinococcosis : A single-center, long-term observational study of 312 Patients in Germany. Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is the most Iethal human helminthic infection and is one of the 17 neglected tropical diseases prioritized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Its incidence is low in endemic regions of Central and Western Europe (0.03-0.05/100,000), but morbidity and treatment costs are high. In this observational study, the investigators assessed the severity of the disease using the PNM staging system and report on the long-term results of specific AE therapy in an interdisciplinary team of clinicians.
