Abstract

Background: Hydatid Cyst disease is a well-known parasitic disease globally. It develops in humans after ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs. In order to better prevent and control Hydatid Cyst disease, it is crucial to identify the epidemiologic aspects of this parasitic infection. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the Epidemiology and features of this disease in a livestock-raising area in Khuzestan, southwest of Iran. Methods: The present studywasa descriptive-analytical study conducted in360patientsfromdifferent areas of Khuzestan Province, southwest of Iran, with a diagnosis of Hydatid Cyst disease, during a period of 15 years between 2000 and 2015. Data were gathered by reviewing the patient’ s records. Demographic data, laboratory findings, clinical features, the need for surgical debridement, and the Outcome were collected. Data were summarized and analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical methods, respectively. Results: The findings showed that 158 males (43. 9%) and 202 females (56. 1%) were recorded. The mean age of the patients was 37. 36 15. 2 years. The results of the study showed that most patients were in the over-50-year-old age group (103 (28. 6%)), and the lessthan-10-year-old age group had the lowest number (19 (5. 3%)). Most of the cysts were detected in the liver (234 (65%)). There was no statistically significant association between sex, residing area, and animal contact and the number of the cysts (P = 0. 12, 0. 36, and 0. 95, respectively); however, a significant association was found between sex and the body organ involved (P = 0. 007), so that liver involvement was mostly detected in females (79. 9%), while involvement of the lung was mostly found in males (66. 4%). No statistically significant association was found between age and the number of the cysts or the body organ involvement (P = 0. 35 and 0. 61, respectively). Conclusions: Ourstudyshowedthat Hydatid Cyst disease could be surprisinglycommonin apparently low-risk populations, such as those living in urban areas or without direct contact with dogs and farm animals. Therefore, identification of the populations most at risk and educating the community about the most common modes of acquisition could be helpful in the control and prevention of this disease.
