Anaphylactic shock due to unruptured hydatid cyst is a rare complication of hepatic echinococcosis. Here, we present an unusual case of unruptured hydatid cyst causing anaphylactic shock followed by appendicitis, ileus, and complicated by septic condition due to multiple intrahospital infections. Decision of the surgical cyst removal at the right moment and appropriate antimicrobial treatment a...

nine lung hydatid cyst fluid of echinococcus granulosus species from man were analysed by electrophoresis. immunoelectrophoresis and biochemical tests. in addition respective sera of the- host were analysed for comparison. analysis revealed striking similarities in celfulose acetate and agarose gel electrophoretic and immunoelectro phoretic patterns of proteins from hydatid cyst fluid and the s...

In this study immunological reaction of host sera to different glycan antigens of the cyst, has been investigated. Methods: The antibody responses were tested to glycoprotein and glycolipid of the laminated layer (LL), c...

Hydatid cyst of adrenal gland is rare and usually incidentally found as a part of disseminated disease. Herein we report a rare case of primary adrenal hydatid cyst who presented with unusual symptom of arterial hypertension from an endemic country.

Hydatid disease is frequent in endemic regions and sheep farming areas. Most common localization of hydatid cyst occurs in liver followed by lungs. Renal hydatid cyst constitutes about 2-4% of all locations. We report a case of left renal hydatid from a laboratory technician admitted in a tertiary care hospital. There were few cases of renal hydatid disease reported in India among general popul...

Hydatid cyst is a common health problem of world in sheep grazing area. Liver is the most commonly involved organ. Splenic hydatid cyst is uncommon and its isolated involvement is very rare.

The treatment of the liver hydatid cyst is by far from being well codified and continues to be the subject of countless medical contradictions. The numerous surgical therapeutic methods proposed are approved or disapproved by various surgeons, so that it is very difficult to appreciate the value of a surgical procedure which appears very efficient in certain statistics but which generates compl...
