Although echinococcal disease of the liver is common in some parts of the world, it is rarely seen in the United States. Even from endemic areas, few reports deal with its treatment during pregnancy. A 25 year old 18 week pregnant Italian woman presented with pruritis and right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasound revealed a cystic lesion in the left lobe of the liver. The cyst was treated by operative insertion of hypertonic saline and capsulorrhaphy. The patient and her fetus had no postoperative complications. We believe that the pregnant patient with symptomatic hepatic echinococcal disease should be treated operatively and that insertion of hypertonic saline and capsulorrhaphy is the safest and most effective technique for both the mother and fetus.

The U.S. infant mortality rate is among the highest in the developed world, with recent vital statistics reports estimating 6.14 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Traditional health education and promotion to improve maternal, infant, and child health in the United States has focused only on women, leaving men out of important health messages that may affect pregnancy outcomes as well as family well-being. Recently, public health scholars have suggested that men be included in prenatal health education in an effort to improve birth outcomes and reduce infant mortality. Incorporating men in prenatal health promotion and education has been found to improve overall birth preparedness, reduce the risk of maternal–infant HIV transmission, and reduce perinatal mortality in less-developed nations. Although these results are positive, research on paternal impact in pregnancy outcomes in the United States to date is lacking. This article proposes a U.S.-specific research agenda to understand the current role of men in pregnancy health, as well as actual involvement, barriers, and the influence men can have in prenatal health. A discussion of culture, individual motivations, health care providers, and social marketing is also considered.
