Clinical Management of Patients with Cystic Echinococcosis ("Heidelberg Patient Cohort")

Funding: Bonus programme

Time frame: since 1998

Scientists (Section Clinical Tropical Medicine): M. Stojkovic, A. Kapaun, T. Junghanss

Cooperating partners:

● Dept. of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Heidelberg University Hospital (T. Weber)

● Dept. of Surgery, Heidelberg University Hospital (A. Mehrabi)

● Dept. of Parasitology, Heidelberg University Hospital (T. Jaenisch, H. Gehrig-Feistl, H. Jung)

● Thoraxklinik, Heidelberg University Hospital (H. Hoffmann)

Clinical management of patients with cystic echinococcosis has been established at our hospital through interdisciplinary cooperation with the Department of Surgery, the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (with weekly radiological conferences), the Department of Parasitology and the Thoraxklinik.

Today we are a national clinical reference centre for patients with cystic echinococcosis; in international terms, we are a well-established partner in the field of clinical echinococcosis research.
