Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences Cystic Echinococcosis. It usually due to spread cysts from other regions leading secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement any organs even rarer. We report an unusual case female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) incidental finding Isolated absence organ. Patient un...

This study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence of hydatidosis due to Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and the fertility rate of hydatid cysts in sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs slaughtered at the abattoir of Lagkada, in the Prefecture of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece. Lungs and livers from a total of 294 sheep (31.3% infected), 126 goats (8.7% infected), 372 cattle (4.8% infecte...

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, oc...

Hydatid disease is common in Kenya. Established diagnostic methods are not entirely satisfactory and this study was undertaken to show the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of abdominal hydatid disease. The sizes, numbers and sites of hydatid cysts have been shown in 16 patients. In view of its accuracy, lack of radiation hazard and relative cheapness, ultrasound is recommended as the method...

We report on the surgical treatment of a patient in whom hydatid cysts inside the right pulmonary artery and multiple right lung involvement were detected. Since the right pneumonectomy carried a high risk of cyst rupture, and migration of the cysts to the opposite lung during ligation of the pulmonary artery, a two-stage surgical approach was scheduled. Hydatid cysts located at the proximal pu...

Echinococcusis is a zoonotic disease, which is endemic in sheep-raising areas such as Iran. Cardiac involvement of the hydatidosis is rare and mostly asymptomatic, but it could lead to lethal complications. Thus, early diagnosis with accurate treatment would be life-saving. Here we report a 17-year-old female with nonspecific pulmonary presentations and a positive history of pulmonary hydatid c...

A hydatid cyst, or echinococcus, is a zoonosis frequently formed by the larvas of Echinococcus granulosus. The disease appears as a slowly growing cystic mass and is asymptomatic. The disease is common in the Eastern, Southeastern, and Central Anatolia regions of Turkey. The rate of incidence of the disease in Turkey is reported as 5.7 out of 100,000 individuals. The complications of hydatic cy...

b ackground: the aim of the present study was to determine the molecular characteristics of echinococcus granulosus from paraffin-embedded tissues of hydatid cysts isolated from human and protoscoleces of hydatid cysts from sheep, cattle and camel isolates using pcr- rflp of its1- rdna analysis in golestan province, northern iran. m ethods: e . granulosus isolates from human patients infected w...

background: modulation of the immune response is an important strategy by which establish­ment and growth of hydatid cyst in the internal organs of human is warranted. induction of apop­tosis in the lymphocytes might be a considerable component. this study was designed to evaluate apoptotic impact of hydatid fluid (hf) on human lymphocytes. methods: human lymphocytes were treated with hydatid f...

conclusions gossypiboma may not be symptomatic for many years or could be symptomatic for a short duration of time. besides being a rare surgical complication, gossypiboma can lead to serious morbidity and mortality that may cause medico-legal problems. diagnosis with imaging methods is difficult. background gossypiboma is the term for forgotten textile products such as a surgical sponge and co...
