From 1989-1992, 35 cases comprising of 20 hepatic and 15 pulmonary hydatid cysts were seen. Four patients with pulmonary hydatid disease had previous or concomitant hepatic hydatidosis compared to no concomitant pulmonary hydatid disease in the hepatic group. Hepatic hydatid disease had a greater tendency to be right sides, infected and calcified. Anaphylactic reactions occurred in 3 of 20 pati...

From the Department of General Surgery, Ondokuz Mayis University Medical School, Samsun, Turkey Hydatid disease is endemic in farming areas but occurs worldwide. The most common site of disease is the liver, followed by the lungs, kidney, bones and brain. Other sites such as the heart, spleen, pancreas and muscles are very rarely affected. Splenic hydatid disease has been reported to constitute...

Echinococcosis or Hydatid disease is one of the important zoonotic, as well as occupational disease with worldwide distribution. In India, hydatid disease is endemic. However, hydatid disease of ovary is uncommon condition. We report such a case of ovarian hydatid disease in an 11-year-old girl, from rural Gujarat, Western India, presenting with symptoms of urinary obstruction. This case report...

BACKGROUND Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. Disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis, but occasional cases of primary peritoneal hydatid disease involving the pelvis have been reported. Occasionally, the cyst does not ...

Spinal hydatid cysts account for 1% of all cases of hydatid disease; primary intradural hydatid cysts are uncommon. We present a case of pathologically confirmed intradural spinal cyst hydatid in an otherwise healthy patient who showed no other evidence of systemic hydatid cyst disease. The patient presented with back pain, paraparesis, and weakness. An intradural extramedullary cystic lesion w...

An enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot for the diagnosis of human hydatid disease was performed, and the different antibody responses were analyzed by a discriminant analysis. This multivariate technique gave us, first, a selection of the most important responses against Echinococcus granulosus infection and, second, a procedure for the classification of patients into two groups: patients ...

Background: Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection that occurs primarily in Mediterranean countries. Skeletal and muscular involvement rare feature of hydatid disease, making the diagnosis this condition difficult, especially children. Case presentation: In case report, cyst medial compartment right thigh was presented 9-year-old girl who referred to emergency department with bump pain area. ...

hydatid disease, caused by echinococcusgranulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis. but primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare. we report a case of bilateral hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 53years old woman presented with a...

hydatid disease, most commonly caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, affects mainly human liver and lung, and rarely other parts of the body. it is prevalent in most sheep-raising mediterranean countries including iran. peritoneal hydatid cyst, either primary or secondary, represents an uncommon but significant manifestation of the disease. the present case report describes a c...

Hydatid cystic disease is a parasitic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Canines are the definitive host, while affected human beings are the accidental host [1, 2]. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost any part of the body, but are most often found in the liver (60 %) and lungs (30 %). The occurrence of hydatid disease is extremely low in genital organs, appearing wi...
