Two Decades of Living with Echinococcus multilocularis: A Clinical Epidemiology Study on Human Alveolar Echinococcosis in Hungary
We conclude that public interest arose from the first comprehensive HAE study that increased disease awareness within the healthcare system and contributed to better diagnoses and more efficient therapy. However, public awareness needs improvement, since the proportion of advanced-stage HAE did not decrease between the two study periods. Besides, the southwestern hotspot needs more attention and intervention.
