Echinococcosis a zoonotic infection caused by echinococcusgranulosus is still a large extended public health problem in endemic regions. Primary echinococcosis may develop in almost any organ or tissue. The liver and the lungs are the most frequently involved organs. Primary hydatidosis of soft tissue involving foot, coccygeal region and breast is extremely rare even in endemic areas. After dia...

Primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas is extremely rare, and occurs at a rate of 0.2-2% [1]. The causative agent is often Echinococcusgranulosus (EG), which accounts for 99% of the cases. The hydatid disease caused by Echinococcusmultilocularis (EM) is less frequent when compared with EG; however, the differentiation from neoplastic lesions poses a challenge [2-5]. We present a patient who under...

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...

INTRODUCTION Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by a tapeworm Echinococcusgranulosus. Humans are accidental hosts and infected after digestion of foods contaminated to fecal matter of definite hosts. The most affected organs are liver and lungs. Rupture of cyst (spontaneous rupture or rupture due to trauma or surgery) can cause anaphylactic reactions. Even considered as a rare event dur...

background: hydatidosis is one of the zoonotic diseases which affect animals and human beings at the larval stage of echinococcusgranulosus, thereby playing a role in exacerbating the economic and health problems in iran. objectives: this study was conducted to investigate the strains of echinococcusgranulosus isolated from cattle hydatid cysts, in khorramabad, in the lorestan province, west of...

cystic hydatid disease is caused by cystic larval (metacestode) stages of echinococcus granulosus. this parasite can potentially occur all over the world especially in mediterranean and middle east countries and some parts of africa, latin america and china which have major foci of human infections. the cyst wall of metacestodes consists of inner, middle and external layers. to date, little att...

case presentation we report a case of anaphylactic shock during surgery of pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 42 year old woman and its management. conclusions during the surgery of hydatid cyst, any hemodynamic instability should raise the suspension of anaphylaxis and early resuscitation should be instituted. introduction hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by a tapeworm echinococcusgranulosu...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the performance of Antigen B (AgB) isolated from different Echinococcusgranulosus intermediate hosts and from different cyst locations for immunodiagnosis of human cystic echinococcosis (CE). METHODS Hydatid cyst fluids were collected from lung and liver cysts of sheep, liver cysts of goats, lung cysts of camels and cattle, and liver cysts of hum...

BACKGROUND Hydatidosis is the larval stage of the Echinococcusgranulosus. This disease is endemic in Iran. There are many studies about hydatidosis in different regions of the country, but there is not any information about the disease in Kermanshah Province. This article will review all available data about hydatidosis in this province. METHODS Using web based search engines and a survey on ...
