Abstract
- International audience; The present study aimed to identify a sub-group of inoperable alveolar echinococcosis (AE) patients undergoing long-term treatment with benzimidazole (BZM) who presented with an evolution suggestive of a parasitocidal effect. An evolution compatible with parasite death was observed in five patients.
