The first report of two cases of cystic echinococcosis in the lung by Echinococcus ortleppi infection, in Vietnam

In 2013, two cases of infection by Echinococcus that caused cystic echinococcosis in the lungs were reported. In the first case, there was a cyst of 6 × 7 cm in diameter, and in the second case, there were four cysts of 5 × 6 cm, 4 × 4 cm, 3.5 × 3 cm and 2.5 × 2 cm in diameter, respectively. In both...

description In 2013, two cases of infection by Echinococcus that caused cystic echinococcosis in the lungs were reported. In the first case, there was a cyst of 6 × 7 cm in diameter, and in the second case, there were four cysts of 5 × 6 cm, 4 × 4 cm, 3.5 × 3 cm and 2.5 × 2 cm in diameter, respectively. In both cases, Echinococcus larvae were collected from the cysts. The larvae were identified as Echinococcus ortleppi by morphology and a molecular method (using reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogenase [NADH] with 99%–100% homology compared with E. ortleppi in GenBank). This is the first time that this species has been found in humans in Vietnam.
