“…An association of sex and organ site ( p < 0.001) was observed in our study, with males exhibiting lung/liver cysts showing a higher proportion of lung infection than did females, similar to previous reports from Iran (Kamali et al., 2018) and Italy (Cappello et al., 2013). In females, we found a significantly higher fraction of the hydatid cysts to occur in the liver compared to that proportion in the males (p < 0.001).…”

“…Human infection with hydatid cyst occurs via consumption of food or water contaminated with Echinococcus granulosus eggs or by ingesting eggs picked up by direct contact with dogs infected with E. granulosus . Hydatidosis is an important parasitic disease in humans and domestic livestock of Iran (Kamali et al., 2018; Rokni, 2009) and is categorized as a neglected disease by the World Health Organization (Da Silva, 2010; Deplazes et al., 2017). It is cosmopolitan, especially in sheep breeding regions of Asia, Australia, South America, and Southern Europe (Deplazes et al., 2017; Mastrandrea et al., 2012).…”

Hydatid cyst, caused by larval stages of Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic parasitic disease with public health importance. The disease is cosmopolitan and endemic in Iran. We conducted a retrospective study of the records of Milad Hospital, Tehran, Iran to establish the proportion of lung and liver surgical procedures that were performed for removal of hydatid cyst and to investigate the demography of the population undergoing lung and liver hydatid cyst surgery in this hospital. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted of records of 682 patients who underwent liver (n = 404) or lung (n = 278) surgery from April 2009 to March 2013. In 404 liver surgeries, 111 (27.5%) diagnoses of hydatid cyst were verified. Liver hydatid infection demonstrated a significant age-related difference (p < 0.05). Cysts were found in 64 of 217 females (29.5%) and 47 of 187 males (25.1%). While in both sexes, more cysts were found in liver, the liver/lung ratio in females was significantly higher than in males (p < 0.001). Hydatid cyst was verified in 59 (21.2%) of 278 lung surgeries: 27 of 105 females (25.7%) and 32 of 173 males (18.5%). There was a significant relationship between sex and organ site (p < 0.001) with the proportion of hydatid cysts in males occurring in lung higher than seen in females. In the five investigated years, approximately 25% of liver and lung surgeries conducted at Milad Hospital were related to hydatidosis. Increasing public awareness of principles of avoiding infection could reduce the risk of nearly a quarter of liver and lung surgeries and costs associated with the treatment of hydatid cysts.

Background: Echinococcus granulosus is a rare parasitic infection causing Cystic Echinococcosis, which can be dangerous due to involving the body. This parasitic infection is a significant health problem in Iran. However, little is known about this disease, specifically in Jahrom city; thus, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology and the economic impact of the illness. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the files of 137 patients who were under the care, and treatment of the final diagnosis of Cystic Echinococcosis were evaluated by reviewing the information such as age, gender, occupation, place of residence was collected, and analyzed. Results: Human cystic echinococcosis cases were more common in females, 57.2% (12 patients) and 42.8% (9 patients) were male. In terms of age, most patients (23.8%) were in the age range from 21 to 30 years. The chief complaint at diagnosis, in all cases, was abdominal pain. Besides, 71.42% of the cases had the liver involvement alone, 9.52% had the lung involvement alone, 9.52% had a co-infection of liver and lung, and 4.74% had the kidney involvement alone. Conclusions: The results of the present study are beneficial in determining the disease status and the epidemiology of hydatid cyst in this area.
