Key Department Guide

Echinococcosis / Brucellosis

The Department of Echinococcosis and Brucellosis primarily diagnoses and treats endemic zoonotic diseases such as echinococcosis and brucellosis. Echinococcosis commonly involves the liver and lungs; diagnosis and treatment rely on epidemiological history, imaging, and serological studies. Treatment includes a comprehensive strategy encompassing antiparasitic drugs, puncture drainage, and surgery. Brucellosis often presents with fever, excessive sweating, joint pain, and hepatosplenomegaly. Diagnosis requires a combination of exposure history, serological tests, and cultures; treatment primarily involves combination antibiotic regimens. Both diseases require close monitoring for recurrence, assessment of liver and kidney function, and public health management. In cases of biliary obstruction, abscess rupture, endocarditis, or neurological involvement, prompt multidisciplinary intervention is necessary.
