棘球蚴病,由棘球蚴引起的寄生虫感染,根据囊肿的位置和大小,可能会导致各种症状。本文探讨了包虫病的复杂性,包括它的传输周期,临床表现,诊断,和治疗方法。该综述强调了与诊断不同类型的包虫病相关的挑战。包括囊性包虫病,泡状包虫病,和多囊包虫病。每种形式的疾病都需要一种独特的诊断方法,该方法通常结合血清学测试。成像技术,和组织学分析。文章探讨了各型包虫病的治疗方案,包括手术切除,药物,和微创程序,如穿刺-抽吸-注射-再呼吸(PAIR)。文章承认目前治疗方法的局限性,并强调需要进一步研究改进的诊断方法,药物靶标,和预防措施。这篇综述旨在全面概述包虫病,包括它的传输,临床表现,诊断,和治疗方式。通过概述疾病的复杂性并强调未来研究的领域,本文希望有助于改善疾病管理和控制。审查的主要发现包括识别在区分囊性,肺泡,多囊包虫病,手术切除和PAIR等治疗方式的不同疗效,以及迫切需要进一步研究增强的诊断方法,新的药物靶点,有效的预防策略。
Echinococcosis, a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus tapeworms, can cause various symptoms depending on the location and size of the cysts. This article explores the complexities of echinococcosis, including its transmission cycle, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. The review highlights the challenges associated with diagnosing the different echinococcosis types, including cystic echinococcosis, alveolar echinococcosis, and polycystic echinococcosis. Each form of the disease necessitates a unique diagnostic approach that often combines serological tests, imaging techniques, and histological analysis. The article explores treatment options for each type of echinococcosis, including surgical resection, medication, and minimally invasive procedures such as puncture-aspiration-injection-reaspiration (PAIR). The article acknowledges current treatment methods\' limitations and emphasises the need for further research into improved diagnostics, drug targets, and preventative measures. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of echinococcosis, encompassing its transmission, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment modalities. By outlining the complexities of the disease and highlighting areas for future research, the article hopes to contribute to improved disease management and control. Key findings of the review include the identification of significant diagnostic challenges in differentiating between cystic, alveolar, and polycystic echinococcosis, the varying efficacy of treatment modalities such as surgical resection and PAIR, and the urgent need for further research into enhanced diagnostic methods, novel drug targets, and effective preventative strategies.
