**Echinococcosis** is a parasitic human disease caused by larvae of tapeworms of the genus Alveococcus, which occurs with the formation of small cysts in the liver and other organs. Echinococcus multilocularus has increased virulence and can cause a severe form of the disease. The disease is rare and, as a rule, a person becomes infected accidentally. Based on the symptoms of echinococcosis, these features make it difficult to diagnose the disease, which can lead to progression of the disease and death. Therefore, it is important to know the first symptoms of the disease and immediately seek medical help.
