The fertility and viability study of human Hydatid cyst
Authors
Abstract
Background: Cystic hydatid disease is one of the most important parasitic diseases in Iran. Studies on fertility of the cysts and viability rate of protoscoleces will provide useful data for surgeons and researchers. Objective: To determine fertility rates of cycts and viability of protoscoleces in human cases of hydatid disease. Methods: Samples of human hydatid cysts were collected during surgery and transferred in normal saline to the research lab. After collecting and washing protoscoleces, their viability rate was measured using eosin exclusive test. Findings: Of 73 cases, 57.5% were women and 42.5% men. 60.4% were in the age range of 20 to 49. The location of cysts were predominantly in liver (64.4%), lung (16.4%) or both (9.6%). A large proportion of cysts were fertile (84.9%). The viability rate of protoscoleces in fertile cysts were found to be 46.4%. Conclusion: Results of the present study have great implications for medical and surgical management of the disease.
