Brief Summary
Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus species. Diagnosis currently relies on imaging, serology and microscopy, but microscopy is time-consuming, has limited sensitivity and cannot distinguish between Echinococcus species. Molecular methods such as PCR may therefore provide a faster, more sensitive and species-specific diagnostic approach, with both clinical and epidemiological value. This study aims to improve molecular diagnosis and knowledge of pulmonary echinococcosis.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Suspected diagnosis of echinococcosis * Patients requiring surgery to remove cysts * Patients aged 6 years or over * Signature of informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are candidates for surgery for other reasons
