Abstract:
Among 29,875 autopsies 59 cases of mediastinal echinococcosis were revealed. Among 4178 patients with thoracic echinococcosis 55 patients had mediastinal echinococcosis. All the patients were operated, most of them underwent ideal ecinococcectomy. Intraoperative prophylaxis of echinococcosis was performed: plearal cavity was treated by low-frequency ultrasound and glycerin. 7 examined patients demonstrated reduction of immune and phagocytosis indices in blood (DC3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD16+, CD21+). Increase of immunoglobulines A, M, G and circulating immune complexes was revealed. Reactions of scolexprecipitation and lymphocytes antigen-fixing were positive.
