Alveolar hydatid disease

Alveolar hydatid disease (AHD), is a form of echinococcosis, a disease that originates from a parasite.[1] Although alveolar echinococcosis is rarely diagnosed in humans and is not as widespread as cystic echinococcosis, it is also still a serious disease that not only has a significantly high fatality rate but also has the potential to become an emerging disease in many countries.
