abstract hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the cestode worm echinococcus granulosus, which causes echinococcosis in human and some other mammalian. iran is located in endemic zone of this disease and chaharmahal va bakhtiari province, due to existence of sheep husbandry jobs, has a potential for high prevalence of the disease, . therefore, this investigation was carried out to study seroepide...

lorestan and other part of iran are one of the important endemic focuses for the major zoonotic parasitic diseases like cystic hydatid disease where several species of intermediate host are commonly infected with echinococcus granulosus . meat inspection records in a slaughtered house were used to determine the prevalence of hydatidosis in sheep, cattle, and goats in lorestan province (aleshtar...

LARGE SPLENIC CYSTS AT THE UPPER POLE OF THE SPLEEN – LAPAROSCOPIC MANAGEMENT (ABSTRACT): Splenic cysts represent a rather rare pathology. The traditional management consisted in splenectomy and it is performed more and more frequently by laparoscopy. However, with the recognition of the important immunological function of the spleen, new techniques to preserve splenic function as fenestration,...

In addition to the liver, human hydatidosis has been reported in the lung, brain, abdominal viscera, muscles, and heart chambers. Infarction of the brain has also been documented. Arterial embolism of the lower extremities by hydatid cyst, however, is extremely rare. In the presented case, acute ischemia of the patient's left leg led to gangrene and amputation. Complete workup for localizat...

BACKGROUND Hydatic cyst is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is a public health problem in Tunisia and remains endemic. It occurs in intra-abdominal organs in 10-15% of the cases, particularly in the liver representing the most common affected organ. The aim of the case is to highlight the scarcity of this appendicle origin and to consider it among the differential diagno...

Hydatidosis is diagnosed by serological together with radiological and ultrasound examinations .but cross -reactivity with other parasites, over evaluating the real prevalence, represents a big limitation. The aim of the present study was to develop a specific and simple antibody detection (IgG) -based ELISA method .The samples in this study included 35 patients in the following groups: IHAT(In...

A 15-year-old girl was admitted with a 2-month history of early satiety, abdominal pain, nausea, and progressive dyspnea. Abdominal examination revealed a markedly distended abdomen. The patient's family lived in a region endemic for hydatid disease and her brother had a hydatic cyst in the liver. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) against Echinococcus granulosus was positive (titer 1/1,280) using th...

We present a case of a 38-year–old Turkish patient with a previously diagnosed cardiac hydatidosis, which is a parasitic infection most commonly induced by Echinococcus granulosus and with only rare cardiac involvement (0.5%– 2.0%). In 1998, the patient survived a cardiogenic shock caused by the rupture of 1 hydatic cyst and concomitant cardiac tamponade. Postsurgery, the patient was treated ph...

INTRODUCTION Prolonged extravasation after renal and ureter surgeries is a bothersome situation for both the patient and the doctor. It is usually related to the suture line not being watertight. The contact between urine and the edges of the wound also delay healing of the wound. In this situation, the first thing to do is to break the contact between the wound and the urine by inserting an ad...
