[The specific features of development of Echinococcus granulosus metacestode (exogenous blastogenesis) in man]
Abstract:
The paper describes a case of abnormal development of a parasitic cyst by the type characteristic of alveolar echinococcosis (exogenous blastogenesis) detected in a female patient operated on for echinococcus. The fact that the exogenous blastogenesis has been found allows the mechanism of a postoperative recurrence of human echinococcosis to be explained from basically new standpoints. A parasitological analysis of the punctates of cystic masses and cysts themselves, taken from patients operated on for cystic echinococcosis has revealed one of the signs of malignant exogenous proliferation of elements of a parasytic metacestode, namely, the development of acephalocysts from the germinative cells of the pedicle of protoscoleces. The capacity of cystic echinococcosis metacestodes for exogenous blastogenesis by the type of human alveolar echinococcosis is an early unknown species-specific feature of E. granulosus.
