[Epidemiological study of pulmonary hydatid cyst in the Ivory Coast. 3 cases]

No cases of echinococcus have been reported up to this time in Ivory Coast, where it has been considered non-existant in either pulmonary or hepatic form. The three cases of pulmonary echinococcus reported here show the classic paucity of clinical symptoms associated with classical radiological findings. The epidemiological research confirms in one case definite infection occurring in Ivory Coast and the other two either in the Ivory Coast or in closely neighbouring areas.
