Introduction/Background Pelvic hydatidosis is a rare localization of echinococcosis. It represents less than 1% all localizations. concerns the genital area in 80%. Diagnosis pelvic hydatid cyst based on good history taking and often difficult due to differential diagnosis with other cystic formations particularly ovarian cancer.The objective our study highlight epidemiological profile...

hydatidosis is a zoonosis disease caused by the larva of echinococcus granulosus parasite in man and animals. the proteases enzymes are necessary for nutrition, migration and evasion of immunity of parasite into host. the aim of this study was to determine the protease activity of hydatid cyst protoscolices (psc), healthy and cystic liver tissues in order to compare of this biomarker for host a...

Cystic echinococcosis, which is caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus granulosus, results from the presence of one or more massive cysts or hydatids, and can involve any organ, including the liver, lungs, heart, brain, kidneys, and long bones. Muscle hydatidosis is usually secondary in nature, resulting from spread of larval tissue from a primary site after spontaneous or trauma-induced c...

Most serodiagnostic techniques have been evaluated for diagnosis of cystic hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Each, to varying degrees, has been shown to give false results, with considerable variation between laboratories. The comparative study was made concerning the sensitivity of the immunodiagnostic methods based on 58 sera from hydatid disease with different cyst locations...

Disseminated peritoneal hydatidosis is rare. Infrequently hydatid cysts can rupture into adjacent organs. We report a case of secondarily disseminated peritoneal hydatidosis with rupture into the gut presenting as hydatidorrhoea. A 26-year-old man presented with passage of white ‘grape’–like structures with stool. Ultrasonography showed disseminated hydatidosis. Magnetic resonance imaging furth...

UNLABELLED We report a rare case of a cardiac hydatid cyst that was incidentally found during routine work up for a redo-CABG and was picked up on echocardiography and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and, after successful removal, further confirmed by histopathology. The report emphasizes the importance of early and urgent surgery for such cardiac hydatid cysts whenever discovered to pr...

cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is the most serious tape-worm infection prevalent in the cattle and sheep raising area of the world. hydatidosis in man (as an accidental host) caused by infection with the ova containing larval stage of echinococcus spp. in the last decade different techniques have been employed for the serological diagnosis of hydatid disease, such as iha, ifa, elisa, ccle...

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...
