title: [Echinococcus multifocal. Epidemiology, clinical findings and treatment].
abstract: Infection with the fox dwarf tapeworm, Echinococcus multilocularis, has for the first time been found in a fox in Denmark, and E. multilocularis infection is therefore now a possible diagnosis in Danish patients. This paper reviews the life cycle, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of E. multilocularis infections.
