Hydatidosis disease alters trace element levels in patients and sheep, decreasing selenium and zinc while increasing copper. These changes in selenium, zinc, and copper correlate with various health conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Parasitology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus tapeworms.
  • Trace elements like selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) play crucial roles in human and animal health.
  • Alterations in trace element levels are associated with various pathological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate serum and cyst fluid levels of selenium, zinc, and copper in patients and sheep with hydatid cysts.
  • To compare these levels with those in healthy subjects and control animals.
  • To explore correlations between trace element levels and associated diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Serum and cyst fluid samples were collected from patients and sheep with hydatidosis and from healthy controls.

  • Concentrations of selenium, zinc, and copper were measured using appropriate analytical techniques.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare levels between groups and identify correlations.

    • Main Results:

    • Serum selenium and zinc levels were decreased, while copper levels were increased in patients with hydatidosis compared to healthy individuals.
    • Similar trends were observed in infested sheep.
    • Selenium was undetectable in cyst fluid; copper and zinc levels were significantly lower in cyst fluid than in serum.
    • Trace element variations were not significantly influenced by host genus or cyst fertility.

    Conclusions:

    • Hydatidosis significantly alters serum concentrations of selenium, zinc, and copper in both humans and sheep.
    • The observed changes in trace elements may serve as potential biomarkers for hydatid disease.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the precise mechanisms and clinical implications of these alterations.
