title: [Liver cirrhosis caused by liver echinococcosis].
abstract: Systematic histological and ultra structural studies over operated patients and in experiment on white infantile mouse have revealed very serious liver alterations, when affected by echinococcosis. Alterations advance with disease progress and lead to cytological alterations in the organ in significant percent of the patients. Echinococcosis is accepted as etiological factor for cirrhosis. Echinococcosis should be included in the existing etiological classification: alcoholic, posthepatical, metabolic, biliar and cardiac. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment is recommended for prevention of development of cirrhosis and irreversible changes in the organ. Intensification of the prophylactic measures among population for reducing of morbidity are also recommended.
