Core Tip	On the basis of the data presented, we suggest the use of specific immunoglobulin E detection and eosinophil percentage counts as therapeutic response markers, particularly in settings with limited resources. We also recommend: (1) routine screening for cystic echinococcosis in relatives (and/or close associates) of patients to facilitate the diagnosis of asymptomatic infection; (2) extension of the follow-up period after surgical and/or medical treatment for the early diagnosis of relapses; and (3) appropriate pre- and post-surgery therapy.
