Preparations of the two most immunoreactive Echinococcus granulosus antigens (antigens 4 and 5) from sheep hydatid fluid, purified by a simplified method, and monospecific antisera against antigens 4 and 5, prepared by a new procedure, were used to measure the antigenic concentrations of antigens 4 and 5 in swine, sheep, and human hydatid fluids from pulmonary or hepatic cysts. Two bovine sampl...

Hydatidosis is endemic disaese in south of Iraq , zinc level are detected in sera of patient and hydatid cyst fluid by atomic absorption technique in colleges of Basrah university , the present study found that the zinc levels were increase in sera of patient when compare with control whom are not infected with disaese . so the levels of zinc are also increase or high in hydatid cyst fluid .

Introduction Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococci. The most commonly affected organ is liver, followed by lungs. Hydatid disease of the chest wall is extremely rare. The aim of this study is to report a case of chest wall Hydatid cyst with literature review. A 20-year-old pregnant lady presented with left hypochondrial and lower chest painful swelling. There was 10 × 15 cen...

Hydatid cyst is a rare parasitic infection that involved all organs. It caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus tapeworms. Hydatid cyst of the head and neck is a very rare condition, even in areas where Echinococcus infestation is endemic. Orbital hydatid cyst is extremely rare and accounts for less than 1% of all hydatid cysts. Herein a 24-year-old man with primary orbital hydatid cyst is i...

Hydatidosis is a disease caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the dog tapeworm,Echinococcus granulosus. This is recognised as one of the world’s most important zoonoses, affecting bothhumans and their domestic animals. In the current study, 20 sheep cystic livers or lungs were collected.Hydatid fluid and protoscolices were isolated and the soluble protein was prepared. Polypeptide ...

Primary hydatid cyst of the spleen with intrapleural rupture is rarely reported. Herein, we present an elderly woman who admitted with empyema due to intrapleural rupture of primary hydatid cyst where cytological examination of the pleural fluid with cell block method has facilitated the diagnosis.

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...

BACKGROUND Location of an intrathoracic lesion on chest radiograph is facilitated by application of 'silhouette sign'. This helps narrow down the differential diagnoses. The list of probable diagnoses reduces further on determination of the density of the lesion. A spinal hydatid presents as a fluid-density posterior mediastinal lesion on chest radiograph with destruction of the vertebral body ...

In the present study, sheep crude hydatid cyst fluid antigen (SCHCFA) was prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation, centrifugation and dialysis. SDS-PAGE of SCHCFA showed seven polypeptides of 72.8 kDa, 66.5 kDa, 60.2 kDa, 41 kDa, 25.1 kDa, 19 kDa and 8 kDa when stained with Coomassie briliant Blue R-250. The initial part of the ascending loop of the first peak (PI) when resolved by gel filtr...
