Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Echinococcosis also known as Hydatidosis or Hydatid Disease is a major human and veterinary concern. It is endemic in many parts of the world and is caused by infestation with the larval/meta-cestode stage of organisms belonging to genus Echinococcus. It is among the most dangerous zoonoses known. Transmission of AE to humans is by consumption of parasite eggs excreted with faeces of definitive hosts, foxes and dogs.Liver is the most common organ involved but the disease can also disseminate to other organs like lung, long bones and brain. Although AE is geographically confined to the northern hemisphere, but globalization and urbanization resulting in major population shifts has made it necessary for all global health care providers to have knowledge about this disease. This disease is now increasingly being reported from previously unaffected areas. Associated morbidity, treatment related costs and DALY’s ( Disease Adjusted Life Years) are high. The incidence of Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus Granulosus (EG) is very high in our part of the world. We present our experience of four cases of AE over a short period of time. The treatment options offered and the short term follow up is discussed.
