Alveolar echinococcosis

Hydatid disease or echinococcus

Echinococcal lesions are widespread diseases. They come in two types: thanatogenic (deadly) and non-thanatogenic. The first type includes echinococcosis, which develops in the brain, abdominal cavity, liver (rarely other organs), these include both cysts from veterinary diseases and larval cysts that are dangerous to the health of animals. The second type includes echinococcal necrosis (abscess) of the lungs. This disease develops in the lungs: patency is impaired, mucus and pus flow through a narrow opening onto the surface of the lung - out; then the contents are washed away
