چکیده
Sumnuuy The fluid of hydatid cysts occurring in the liver and the lung have been analysed for proteins, carbohydrates, nitrogenow waste products, lipids, electrolytes and nucleic acids contents. The data obtained from the fluid of the liver cysts were compared with those obtained from the lung cysts. Furthermore, the same analyses were carried out to investigate what kind of changes, if any, occur in the chemical composition of the cysts fluid after freezing. Results indicated that quantities of urie acid, urea nitrogen, total protein, creatinine, cholestro~ triglycerides, chloride, calcium and phosphate significantly (P< 0.05) differed in fresh fluid from liver cysts than those in fresh lung cysts. Also, freezing of fresh hydatid fluid, both from the liver and the lung, caused changes in the quantities of some organic compounds and certain electrolytes.

Hydatid cyst, the larval stage of cestodes Echinococcus spp., is recognized as a zoonotic infection in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently classified echinococcosis in a group of neglected tropical diseases.The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus infection is high in Iran due to the presence of various intermediate hosts in this country. Considering the rising trend of...

Background: Hydatid disease is characterized by long-term growth of hydatid cysts in the human. The glycan antigens have an important role in the immunology of hydatid cyst. 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...
