“…Cystic echinococcosis remains a serious public health problem worldwide, especially in Mediterranean countries including Türkiye where the disease is endemic. In a multicenter study conducted in our country, the mean age was shown to be 45.4±17.4 (4), while in another study it was found to be 53.5±19.4 (10), and in another study that included 448 people, it was 40.6±20.58 (11). In our study, the mean age presented was 47.2±11.7, which is close to the values of other studies.…”

Aim: Hydatic cyst is one of the most common parasitic diseases caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Although it can be seen worldwide, it is a significant health problem in developing countries such as Türkiye. In this study, we reviewed the epidemiological and clinical data of cystic echinococcosis cases in a tertiary hospital and reviewed current trends in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Materials and Methods: A total of 41 patients were included in the study between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2022. Results: In the retrospectively planned study, 16 (39%) of the patients were female, and the mean age was determined to be 47.4±11.7 years. Twenty-seven (65.9%) of the patients were living in rural areas. The most affected organ was the liver (48.8%). Multiple organ involvement was observed in 2 cases. The diagnosis of most patients was made using ultrasound (73.2%). Anemia (22%) was the most frequently detected finding in the laboratory tests performed before treatment. Other laboratory findings were ranked as eosinophilia and leukocytosis. The treatment of the majority of patients was done both medically and surgically (75.6%). Thirty-four patients (82.9%) did not have a recurrence. Among the 7 patients who had a recurrence, the first site of recurrence was observed in the liver in 3 of them. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst is still an important disease in our country due to its impact on both human and animal health and serious economic losses in areas engaged in animal husbandry.

“…Although some types can be successfully treated with percutaneous aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration, the surgical approach remains the preferred treatment. Albendazole and mebendazole are recommended for medical treatment (8)(9)(10).…”

Purpose: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Clinical, radiologic, pathologic, and serologic findings should be evaluated together for the diagnosis of CE. The sensitivity and specificity of serologic tests may vary depending on the method used. In this study, we aimed to detect IgG antibodies specific to E. granulosus using indirect hemagglutination (IHA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect fluorescent antibodies (IFA) and western blot (WB) tests. Methods: In our study, the serum samples of 79 patients sent to our laboratory with suspicion of CE were studied using two different commercial IHA tests, ELISA, IFA and WB test. The test results were evaluated with pathology and radyology reports as the gold standard. Results: Of all the patients, 56 (71%) were female and 23 (29%) were male. There was a statistically significant difference in females (χ2=4.67, p=0.03). Out of 79 patients Siemens IHA, Fumouze IHA, ELISA, IFA and WB test were positive as 35 (44.3%), 39 (49.4%), 46 (58.2%), 45 (57%) and 43 (54.4%), respectively The sensitivity and specificity of Siemens and Fumouze commercial IHAs, ELISA, IFA and WB test were 67.3-96.3%, 78.9-96.3% 86.6-92.6%, 84.62-92.59% and 75-96.3%, respectively. Conclusion: There were statistically significant differences in all five methods (p<0,001). While the tests with the highest specificity were IHAs and WB, the test with the highest sensitivity was the ELISA test. It was concluded that IHA and ELISA tests were more practical in practice because of their greater applicability.

Purpose Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Clinical, radiologic, pathologic, and serologic findings should be evaluated together for the diagnosis of CE. The sensitivity and specificity oalf serologic tests may vary depending on the method used. In this study, we aimed to detect IgG antibodies specific to E. granulosus using indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect fluorescent antibodies (IFA) and western blot (WB) tests. Methods In our study, the serum samples of 74 patients sent to our laboratory with suspicion of CE were studied using two different commercial IHA tests, ELISA, IFA and WB test. The test results were evaluated along with radiological findings and histopathological examinations, the latter being the gold standard. Results Of all the patients, 51 (69%) were female and 23 (31%) were male. There was a statistically significant difference between males and females (χ2 = 9.7, p = 0.002). Out of 74 patients, positivity rates for Siemens IHA, Fumouze IHA, ELISA, IFA and WB test were positive as 33 (44.6%), 35 (47.3%), 43 (58.1%), 42 (56.7%) and 38 (51.3%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the tests were as follows: 66.67 and 2.31% for Siemens IHA; 70.83% and 96.15% for Fumouze IHA; 85.42%, and 88.46% for ELISA; 83.33% and 88.46% for IFA; 72.92% and 88.46% for WB test. Conclusion There were statistically significant differences in between all five methods (p < 0,001). While the tests with the highest specificity was Fumouze IHA, the test with the highest sensitivity was the ELISA test. It was concluded that IHA and ELISA tests were more practical in practice because of their greater applicability.
