Equinococose neotropicial: um estudo anatomopatológico para auxílio em uma sistematização diagnóstica correlacionada a morfologia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) ABREU JUNIOR, José Maria de Castro; SOARES, Manoel do Carmo Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1483308844442427; BATISTA, Evander de Jesus Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2206444845201080
Equinococcosis is a disease caused by cestodes of the Echinococcus genus, that can be found at the small intestin of animals like bush-dog and domestic dog. Men behave as an accidental host by the ingestion of eggs of the parasite. The larval forms mainly develop at the liver, and sometimes at the lung, causing a cronic diesease that can be easily mistaken by neoplasias. At the State of Pará, North Brazil, there is a great number of cases of this rare diesease, related to Echinococcus vogeli in the Amazon.This study describes six new cases, five in the the liver, and one at the lung, making description a about the kind of inflammatory cells. Fibrosis, giant-cells, calcification and the laminated layer with the typical cerebroid pattern. Rostellar hooklets did not were found. The laminated layer, is not enough to describe the species of Echinococcus, but allows to consider that the worm´s gender is Echinococcus. Even though the number of cases is too small for a statistical analysis, were observed cells that can justify why the disease has a cronic evolution. More works like this, adding more cases are important, because equinococcosis is a neglected diesese.

Equinococose policística na Amazônia oriental brasileira: atualização da casuística
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2004) SOARES, Manoel do Carmo Pereira; SILVA, Carlos Augusto Moreira; ALVES, Max Moreira; NUNES, Heloisa Marceliano; AMARAL, Ivanete do Socorro Abraçado; MÓIA, Lizomar de Jesus Maués Pereira; CONDE, Simone Regina Souza da Silva; CUNHA, Fernanda Barbosa de Almeida da; SILVA, Rosângela Rodrigues; CRESCENTE, Jose Angelo Barletta
By means of epidemiological and clinical-laboratorial approaches was consolidated an update of polycystic echinococcosis in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon, period from 1962 to 2003, including unpublished cases and those already published. In that way, they were identified 40 cases of the disease in referred period, understanding cases coming from the States of Pará and Amapá, Brazil. The width of the ages went from 10 to 72 years and 47,5% belonged to the masculine sex. The liver was the attacked organ (82,5% of the cases). The Echinococcus vogeli (Rausch and Bernstein, 1972), comes as the main agent involved. Starting from the recognition of the importance and of the implications of the handling of the echinococcosis for the tropical area, it is believed that should happen an improvement of the diagnosis, appropriate treatment and of a better registration of the disease.
