case presentation we report a case of anaphylactic shock during surgery of pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 42 year old woman and its management. conclusions during the surgery of hydatid cyst, any hemodynamic instability should raise the suspension of anaphylaxis and early resuscitation should be instituted. introduction hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by a tapeworm echinococcusgranulosu...

In a survey of potato and rotational crops on Prince Edward Island, Canada, the cyst stage of the clover cyst nematode, Heterodera trifolii, was found in 43 of 63 sites sampled; however, only 12% of the cysts contained eggs. The root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans, was the dominant plant parasitic nematode and was found in 56 sites. Extraction of cysts from soil was similar using eithe...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection which occurs in specific geographical areas such as the Mediterranean region. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the knee in a 34-year-old man who was admitted with inability to walk and a painful knee. He had a past history of liver infection nine years ago. Laboratory findings were negative. According to the high prevalence of hydatid disease in Iran,...

We report the case of a giant cell tumor with diffuse interstitial hemorrhaging and unusually prominent cystic components in the soft tissue of the thigh which has not been reported previously. Magnetic resonance image (MRI), showed signal intensity typical of a giant cell tumor. However, because of its conspicuous large well-circumscribed cystic components, the differential diagnoses, based on...

Besnoitia besnoiti was first described by Besnoit & Robin (1912), who observed the thick-walled parasitic cysts in the skin of a chronically infected cow in Southern France. The crescentic organisms within the cysts, which they called spores, will be referred to as cyst forms or cyst organisms in this discussion , in contradistinction to proliferative forms which are encountered in macrophages ...

Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic infection which is caused by the metacestode form of Echinococcus granulosus and affects primarily the liver and lung. Bone involvement is found in 1% of patients afflicted with this disease. The spine is involved in about 50% of these cases. Herein, we report a 70 year old male case with pelvic and spinal hydatid cyst who was operated on eleven times.

Despite increasing use of molecular diagnostics in clinical parasitology laboratories, a mainstay faecal remains microscopy by capable microbiologist. With decreasing rates parasitic infection high income nations such as Australia, the opportunity to regularly see elements faeces is decreasing. At times, unusual or suspicious may be observed smears. An important skill for all conducting able de...

Hydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapeworm Echinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organs could be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvement of oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicystic right ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was shown a...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease endemic in Romania which occurs frequently in liver and lungs, but it can also be present in almost any part of the body. We present the rare case of a 37-year-old male which was admitted in our service with a large hydatid cyst at the level of the right thoracic outlet and we were not able initially to establish its exact origin, liver or right lung. Afte...
