Echinococcosis, methods of diagnosisAbstract
Diagnosis of echinococcosis is often difficult, given the asymptomatic course of the disease in the early stages of its development. The article presents a review of the main methods for the diagnosis of echinococcosis in various localizations practiced by Soviet and Russian surgeons from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. This disease still poses a significant threat to human health. For the first time, the methods of verification of echinococcosis have been analyzed as fully as possible from a historical perspective. The author’s periodization of the development of methods for diagnosing echinococcosis is proposed. The first period (c. 1900-1912) is characterized by the beginning of the use of X-rays and the results of laboratory analyses of blood and urine. The second period, from 1912 to 1942, is characterized by the beginning of the use of contrast agents and immunological diagnostic methods in radiography. The third (1942-1972) was marked by improvements of existing approaches and the introduction of ultrasound into clinical practice. The fourth period is characterized by the introduction of modern methods such as CT and MRI, which make it possible to diagnose echinococcosis with high accuracy. Thus, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, a large number of general clinical, immunological and instrumental methods for the diagnosis of echinococcosis have appeared. It is concluded that the most accurate diagnosis depends on using a range of different research methods. The leading diagnostic method is ultrasound. The method allows to diagnose echinococcosis at the stage when parasitic cysts are small.
