Etiology OF ECHINOCOCCOSIS OR HYDATID DISEASE:

    * · After man eats the eggs, the embryos / larva penetrate the intestine,
         enter the portal circula­tion and go to the liver and lungs.
         The larvas develop into hydatid cysts.
    * Daughter cysts develop inside the hydatid cysts.
    * New larvas also develop in brood capsules which are cystic structures inside the hydatid cysts.
    * The cysts increase in size and may even rup­ture.

# Symp­toms in the involved organ.
# · The liver and lungs are commonly involved.
# · Cysts may be accidentally detected on x-ray or ultrasound.
# · There is abdominal pain or palpable mass in the region of liver.
# · There may be compression of bile duct, biliary obstruction, jaundice.
# · Rupture or leak of cyst produces fever, itching, urticaria, eosinophilia and even anaphylaxis.
# · Pulmonary hydatid cysts may rupture into bron­chial tree or peritoneal cavity.
# · There may be cough, chest pain, hemoptysis.
# · Cysts may also be present in bone, CNS, heart, pelvis.
# · The cysts may metastasize to spleen, lungs and brain.

thank you very much for this, states.  i'll remind everyone in the house over and over to wash their hands thoroughly after playing with dogs and to take extra measures to avoid this kind of disease. 

i dread the thought that the dogs may be blamed when in fact it's human carelessness and irresponsibility that are involved here.  as they say, healthy pets mean healthy humans.
