Echinococcosis found after 3 months — how much does diagnosis cost in Almaty

A veterinary college student who loved helping stray animals had long blamed her growing weakness and discomfort in her side on tiredness. She had no idea that these symptoms, which lasted about 3 months, were caused by echinococcosis, discovered by chance during another checkup. Timely detection made it possible to start treatment right away

How it usually goes

Zhanna, 28, a veterinary college student, loved animals and often helped stray cats and dogs. She washed her hands carefully, but sometimes forgot about small scratches. Zhanna felt weak and uncomfortable in her side, but put it down to tiredness

Over time the discomfort grew worse, and Zhanna went to see a doctor. During an examination for another reason, a cyst was found in her liver by chance. This prompted a deeper investigation into parasitic infections

KAZMED Clinic confirmed echinococcosis. The infection came from contaminated hands after contact with animals. Early diagnosis made it possible to determine the treatment approach in time
