Objective: To evaluate the serological, radiological and epidemiological analysis of suspected cystic echinococcosis patients, and to assess the positivity rate in the region. Method: The retrospective study was conducted at Bursa Uludag University Hospital, Bursa, Turkey, and comprised data from January 2009 to December 2017 related to patients of either gender with suspected cystic echinococcosis who underwent indirect haemagglutination testing. Demographic and clinical data of patients who tested positive were analysed. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 23. Results: Of the 3910 patients with a mean age of 41.6±19.35 years (range: 0-93 years) who underwent indirect haemagglutination testing, 692(17.7%) tested positive; 390(56.4%) females, and 302(43.6%) males. The highest seropositivity rate 107(15.5%) was observed in 2011, followed by 104(15%) in 2016. Seropositive cases were predominantly seen in those aged 40-49 years 131 (18.9%), followed by those aged 50-59 years 124 (17.9%). Conclusion: Cystic echinococcosis was found to be a public health problem South Marmara region of Turkey. Key Words: Echinococcus granulosus, Cystic echinococcosis, Indirect haemagglutination, Seroprevalence.

Human cystic echinococcosis in southwest Iran: a 15-year retrospective epidemiological study of hospitalized cases

et al. 2020

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is considered as a neglected disease with significant mortality and morbidity in most of the developing countries. The current study aimed to retrospectively assess the demographic and epidemiologic features of human CE surgical cases in a 15-year period in Fars province, southwestern Iran. Methods: A 15-year (2004-2018) retrospective study was conducted to find out the epidemiological and clinical picture of CE in patients who undergone surgeries for CE in two main hospitals in Fars Province, southwestern Iran. Hospital records were reviewed, and data were retrieved from each CE patient's record. Results: A total of 501 CE surgical cases were recorded during a 15-year period, corresponding to an average annual incidence of 33.4 and a surgical incidence rate of 0.74/100,000 population. Of these, 242 (48.6%) were male, and 256 (52.4%) were female. Patients' age ranged from 2 to 96 years, with a mean age of 34.92 (± 19.87) years. A significantly higher rate of CE cases was noted in subject's ≥ 50 years of age. The highest frequency of cases (62: 12.5%) was recorded in the year 2017. The most commonly involved organs were liver (339 cases; 57.8%) and lung (279 cases; 47.6%). Concurrent involvement of two organs was seen in 58 (9.9%) cases of both lung and liver, 10 (1.6%) cases of lung and other locations (but not liver), and 23 (3.9%) cases of liver and other locations (but not lung). Reoperation was noted in 67 (13.4%) of the cases. The size of the lung hydatid cyst varied, ranging between 2 and 24 cm (mean = 7.33, SD = 3.737). The size of liver hydatid cysts ranged from 1 to 26 cm (mean 9.04, SD = 4.275). Conclusion: The findings of the current study demonstrated a nearly constant prevalence of CE during the last 15 years in southern Iran. Further studies are needed to find out the reasons behind the recurrence of the disease, which is substantial, in surgically-treated patients.

“…In a similar study conducted by Ertabaklar et al, it was reported that 81.8% of CE were in the liver, 6.1% in the lung and liver, 6.1% in the lung only, and lower rates in other organs (e.g. spleen, kidney, psoas) [32]. In our study, 79 of the 8 patients (76.92%) had multiple localizations; seven were in liver and lung, one was in the liver and intraabdominal cavity.…”

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.
