Cystic echinococcosis is a chronically severe parasitic disease of humans and animals caused by parasitism the larval stage Echinococcus unicameral.Ultrasound (ultrasound) being most widely used option visual diagnostics leading method radiological diagnosis liver other organs. The technique generally available allows diagnosing at when cysts are still small in size, starting from 1.5-2 cm. How...

Background and aim Echinococcosis as a zoonosis disease is one of the most important parasitic helminth that is affected by many risk factors such as the environmental factors. Thus, we predicted the regional vulnerability to Echinococcosis based on environmental factors using a fuzzy inference system (FIS) in Lorestan Province. Methods Our study was cross-sectional study on 200 patients from...

Aim: Diagnosis of echinococcosis is based on clinical symptoms, imaging techniques and particularly the detection specific antibodies in serum specimens patients. The aim this study retrospective evaluation seropositivity from patients who diagnosed as Cystic echinococcosis. Materials Methods: In study, blood samples patients, which were sent to Medical Microbiology Laboratory several clinics S...

background & importance: hydatid disease of the spine is rare but constitutes approximately 50% of bone involvement cases in human hydatidosis. it is a severe condition associated with a high rate of morbidity, disability and mortality. case presentation: in the present paper, we report an intriguing case of cervical spinal hydatid disease mimicking traumatic burst fracture. conclusion: a high ...

hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by echinococcus granulosus (larval form) in humans with lesions most frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. it can rarely involve extra-hepatic organs. it is endemic in some regions of iran. the omental hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of the disease. this report presents the interesting case of a very large omental hydatid cyst.

hydatid cyst of heart is uncommon. we are reporting a case of 14 years old male with liver, lung and heart hydatidosis. diagnosis was confirmed by imaging studies and histological evaluation of surgical specimens.

background: echinococcosis or hydatidosis, caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus (e. granulosus), is an important public health problem in many areas of the world  and  iran is a country of endemic situation for hydatidosis in the present study, we evaluated epidemiological, complications and clinical characteristics of hydatidosis at three university medical centers in tehran o...

hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease that is common in the mediterranean region. thoracic wall, rib or extrapulmonary intrathoracic localization of the cysts is very rare. giant extrapulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts can lead to both diagnostic and treatment difficulties and can be confused with tumor. we present a case of a hydatid cyst with thoracic wall involvement mimicking tumor. we conf...

This retrospective case-control study explored the factors associated with anaphylactic shock during surgery for cystic echinococcosis (CE) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between October 2008 and September 2013. Patients who suffered from anaphylactic shock (n=16) were age-matched 3:1 to patients who did not (n=43). Multivariate analysis suggested that IL-4 leve...

Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) is a parasitic zoonosis with almost complete worldwide distribution. Echinococcus granulosus, the dog tapeworm, causes hydatidosis which accounts for 95% of human echinococcosis. Although this tapeworm is found in dogs as a definitive host and a number of intermediate hosts, humans are often infected from close contact with infected dogs. Humans are not...
