hydatid cyst is an important and zoonotic infection caused by cystic stage of echinococcus granulosus. it is a major and economic problem in most areas of the world that livestock are kept such as iran. in this study, a total of 111 buffalo,s sera from center of buffalo sperm preparation (cbsp), orumia (west azarbayjan province, iran, 2003) were examined for the presence of hydatidosis by using...

Renal hydatidosis usually requires surgical treatment such as pericystectomy, marsupialization, or nephrectomy. In the era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic treatment is preferred. Two main challenges in laparoscopy are to avoid the spillage of contents and to minimize incision for delivering the specimen. We herein discuss the use of a hydatid trocar cannula system (HTCS) to overcome...

Cervical involvement of the hydatid disease is rare entity occurring in less than 0.5% of patients. Hydatid disease is prevalent in Asia, Australia, and Eastern and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow-growing cystic mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every part of the body; however, the lungs and liver are the most involved lo...

The aim of this work was to assess the influence in the diagnostic value for human hydatid disease of the composition of bovine hydatid cyst fluid (BHCF) obtained from fertile (FC) and non-fertile cysts (NFC). Eight batches from FC and 5 from NFC were prepared and analysed with respect to chemical composition: total protein, host-derived protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents. No differences ...

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, transferred through the oral-fecal pathway eating vegetables and food contaminated with dog stool containing eggs of parasite. most commonly found in liver; however, dissemination can occur other organs such as lung rarely heart, breast, thyroid, soft tissue neck, kidney. The surgical approach remains treatment choice hydatid...

Cardiac hydatid cysts are uncommon and pericardial involvement is extremely uncommon. We report a rare case of a cardiac hydatid cyst that was surprisingly found during an emergent tamponade surgery in a woman. She was pale, febrile, ill and toxic and 300cc turbid and purulent fluid was drained. In taking history, it was found that the patient had six sheep dogs in her house. Laboratory analys...

Cardiac hydatid cyst is an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. In cystic Echinococcus humans are an accidental host. Liver and lungs are the most frequently involved organs. Herein a unique case of intramyocardial hydatid cyst of left ventricle along with pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 38-year-old lady is reported. Surgical removal of the cardiac hydatid cyst was done with the aid of cardiopul...
