Abstract
Echinococcosis is a serious problem for modern mankind. This disease has no specific clinical manifestations, but its complications can be fatal. Echinococcus granulosus is endemic for the Astrakhan Region. Every year, the number of cases of human infection with Echinococcus granulosus is increasing on the Astrakhan Region territory. Most often Echinococcus granulosus cysts are found in the liver (85%) and lung (up to 15%). The heart (only 0.4–2%), spleen, kidneys, and brain are damaged much less frequently (1–5% for all locations). The article presents a clinical case of a patient with echinococcosis of the heart and aorta, brain caused by Echinococcus granulosus.
