Anaphylactic shock due to unruptured hydatid cyst is a rare complication of hepatic echinococcosis. Here, we present an unusual case of unruptured hydatid cyst causing anaphylactic shock followed by appendicitis, ileus, and complicated by septic condition due to multiple intrahospital infections. Decision of the surgical cyst removal at the right moment and appropriate antimicrobial treatment a...

nine lung hydatid cyst fluid of echinococcus granulosus species from man were analysed by electrophoresis. immunoelectrophoresis and biochemical tests. in addition respective sera of the- host were analysed for comparison. analysis revealed striking similarities in celfulose acetate and agarose gel electrophoretic and immunoelectro phoretic patterns of proteins from hydatid cyst fluid and the s...

The article by Arce and others was helpful. However, in cases of giant splenic hydatid cyst, splenectomy or partial splenectomy is generally considered the preferred treatment rather than removal of the cyst, as reported by Rashid and others. If there is more than one cyst, a large cyst, a cyst in a deep organ location, or an infected cyst, open surgery should be done. I agree with Arce and oth...

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...

Hydatid cyst, the larval stage of Echinococcus spp., is a common parasitic disease in Iran. The liver and the lungs are the most commonly involved organs. Hydatid cysts have also been reported in bones and soft tissues such as muscle, brain tissue, spleen, thyroid and even in the heart. Hydatid cyst of the inguinal area, resembling a hernia is a rarity presenting at an unusual site. A hyper...

Adult worm lives in the small intestine of dog rarely wolf fox. optimal definitive host. The larval stage (hydatid cyst) found herbivorous animal like sheep, goat, cattle. Man...

Hydatid cyst of adrenal gland is rare and usually incidentally found as a part of disseminated disease. Herein we report a rare case of primary adrenal hydatid cyst who presented with unusual symptom of arterial hypertension from an endemic country.

Hydatid disease is frequent in endemic regions and sheep farming areas. Most common localization of hydatid cyst occurs in liver followed by lungs. Renal hydatid cyst constitutes about 2-4% of all locations. We report a case of left renal hydatid from a laboratory technician admitted in a tertiary care hospital. There were few cases of renal hydatid disease reported in India among general popul...

hydatidosis is a parasitic disease in all over the world which is caused by a cestode (tape worm). liver, lung, and brain are the most common involved organs and involvement of muscles and bones is unusual. we report a 32years old man who had low back and radicular leg pain. he had a paravertebral mass with involvement of spinal column. this patient was operated with differential diagnosis of t...

Five patients with hepatic (3), pelvic (1) or spinal (1) hydatid cysts received 10 mg/kg/d albendazole for 1-3 months prior to surgery. Daughter cysts were present in the spinal hydatid and in one patient with hepatic disease. Electron microscope examination of the cyst tissue of the pelvic and the 2 hepatic cysts lacking daughter cysts showed no evidence of germinal layer, and the protoscolece...
