Popis: | To the Editor: Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworms that manifests most often in the host’s liver, although it can infect the lungs, brain, and other organs. Clinical symptoms usually develop after a long incubation period (5–15 years), causing considerable diagnostic difficulties and delay in treatment. The disease is reported in all countries neighboring the Czech Republic: Slovakia, Poland, Austria, and Germany (1,2). To complete data from central Europe, we present results on the occurrence of AE in the Czech Republic collected by the National Reference Laboratory for Tissue Helminthoses during 2007–2014. |
