Hydatid disease may develop in almost any part of the body and can be identified with a combination of clinical history, imaging findings, and serologic results; however, the diagnosis of bone hydatidosis is primarily based on radiographic findings. Bone hydatid disease is often asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is usually made at an advanced stage when lesions have become extensive. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman who was admitted to the University Hospital, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria complaining of pain in her left tibia. Radiographs revealed an oval cyst with a diameter of 3.5 cm, located in the diaphyseal part of the tibia. The cyst was excised, and no recurrence was observed on follow-up. Functional outcome was excellent.
Echinococcosis is a chronic ongoing helminthosis with multiple organ cysts, affecting humans and animals. PURPOSE: of this study is to develop, standardize and evaluate immunological tests for the confirmatory diagnosis of echinococcosis and to study seropositivity and latent infection by immunoscreen for diagnosis because of the latent course and the late manifestations of clinical symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 107 of the surgical children (91.45%), to 2018 years we performed a serological control roll of echinococcus. Any liquid that has been studied for fertility. There are three possible approaches for screening for Echinococcosis in humans: 1) Serological test and confirmation of seropositive imaging methods; 2) Imaging (ultrasound, X-ray) and subsequent immunological examination of patients with cysts; 3) Simultaneous application of imaging and immunological methods Serums from persons examined by immunoscreen. RESULTS: IgG demonstrates the presence of specific antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus in the patient's serum. CONCLUSIONS Mass immuno-screening was performed in conjunction with the medical unit’s parasitology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
