MeSH Heading: Echinococcosis, Hepatic
Tree Number(s): C01.610.335.190.396.314; C01.610.518.314; C06.552.664.272
Unique ID: D004444
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004444
Annotation: coordinate with NEGLECTED DISEASES if pertinent
Scope Note: Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).
Entry Term(s): Alveolar Echinococcosis, Hepatic; Echinococcosis, Hepatic Alveolar; Hydatid Cyst, Hepatic; Hydatidosis, Hepatic
