Overview

Echinococcosis is classified based on the site of infection and the type of tapeworm causing the infection, into cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis. It can also be classified based on the ultrasound findings and appearance.

Classification

Based on the site of infection, echinococcosis can be classified into:[1]

Based on international classification of ultrasound images in cystic echinococcosis (for application in clinical and field epidemiological settings), cystic echinococcosis is classified into:[1]

  • Type 1 and 2
    • Active fertile cysts that contain viable protoscoleces
  • Type 3
    • Transitional stage cysts, as a result of host immune response or therapy
  • Type 4 and 5
