Amebiasis01:28

Amebiasis

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
Toxoplasmosis01:28

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...
Giardiasis01:12

Giardiasis

Giardiasis is a globally prevalent intestinal infection caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis (also known as G. lamblia or G. intestinalis). This flagellated protozoan is the most frequently identified intestinal parasite in the United States and worldwide. Transmission primarily occurs via the fecal-oral route, with infection arising from ingestion of water or food contaminated with cysts. Individuals in low-resource settings, international travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, daycare...
Leishmaniasis01:30

Leishmaniasis

Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...

Area of Science:

  • * Parasitology
  • * Tropical Medicine
  • * Radiology

Background:

  • * Hydatid disease (HD) remains a significant public health concern in regions with prevalent animal husbandry and inadequate veterinary oversight.
  • * Splenic involvement in HD is uncommon, with isolated splenic HD being exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • * A 26-year-old female presented with abdominal pain.
  • * Imaging studies including ultrasonography, CT, and MRI identified an isolated splenic HD.
  • * The lesion was a large (12 × 11 cm) multivesicular cystic mass near the splenic hilum.

Findings:

  • * The imaging confirmed isolated splenic hydatid disease.
  • * No evidence of involvement in other organs or systems was detected.
  • * The case underscores the diagnostic utility of advanced imaging modalities in rare presentations of HD.

Implications:

  • * This case expands the understanding of rare splenic manifestations of hydatid disease.
  • * It emphasizes the importance of considering HD in the differential diagnosis of splenic cystic lesions, especially in endemic areas.
  • * Early and accurate diagnosis through imaging is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.
