شماره ركورد

Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is not documented in Central Africa. Here, we describe the first autochthonous infection with CE in Congo, Central Africa, providing the first evidence for a new geographical area at risk for the acquisition of CE. Thewhole peritoneal cavity was studded with cysts. Considering the diffuse involvement, patient was successfully managed with surgery associated with medical therapy. The origin of the contamination of our patient is discussed with a focus on a possible role of bush meat.
