Classification
- Based on International classification of ultrasound images in cystic echinococcosis for application in clinical and field epidemiological settings cystic echinococcosis is classified into:[1]
- Cystic echinococcosis cyst type 1 and 2: Cysts are active fertile cysts and contain viable protoscoleces.
- Cystic echinococcosis type 3: Cysts in transitional stage, as a result of host immune response or therapy.
- Cystic echinococcosis cyst type 4 and 5: Inactive cysts which have lost their fertility and are degenerative.
