Background and aims:Hydatid cyst is one of the most important zoonotic parasitic diseases between human and animals which caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Considering the high prevalence of this disease in Iran, its epidemiological status recognition plays an important role in the control and prevention. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of patients with hydatid cyst surgery in one of the hospitals in Sabzevar city from 2012 to 2016.
Materials and Methods:The study was cross-sectional descriptive that reviewed the medical records of 36 patients with hydatid cyst whom had been hospitalized and had surgery in Shahid Beheshti hospital of Sabzevar during 5 years, the characteristics of patients including sex, age, occupation, location, affected organ and number of cysts were recorded.
Results:Among the 36 cases, 26(72.2%) were female and 10(27.7%) were male. The age range was 11-67 and the highest prevalence rate of contamination was observed for 32–40 age groups. The most contaminated occupation group was housewives(44.4%) and the majority of the patients(63.8%) were urban. In terms of infected organ, 22 cyst in liver (61.1%),12 in lung(33.3%) and 2 in liver and lung(5.5%) were observed.
Conclusion:Since housewives are more likely to be infected than other occupational groups, exposure to vegetables infected with parasitized eggs may be the most common cause of infection.
