H Malek, M Zarrinjui

    Pahlavi Medical Journal
    |April 1, 1978

    Summary

    This study analyzed echinococcosis in 41 patients over five years. Echinococcosis commonly affected single organs, with hepatic and pulmonary involvement being equally prevalent.

    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus.
    • The distribution of echinococcosis varies geographically, with distinct patterns of organ involvement in different regions of Iran.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of echinococcosis in a specific patient cohort.
    • To determine the prevalence of single versus multiple organ involvement in echinococcosis.
    • To analyze the distribution patterns of hepatic and pulmonary echinococcosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 41 consecutive patients diagnosed with echinococcosis.
    • Data collected over a five-year period.
    • Analysis of organ involvement patterns (single vs. multiple, hepatic vs. pulmonary).

    Main Results:

    • Single organ involvement was observed in 82.93% of patients (34/41).
    • Multiple organ disease occurred in 17.07% of patients (7/41).
    • Single hepatic involvement (36.59%) and single pulmonary involvement (36.59%) were equally common.

    Conclusions:

    • Echinococcosis in this cohort predominantly affected single organs.
    • The observed distribution of hepatic and pulmonary echinococcosis suggests an intermediate pattern within Iran.
    • Further research is needed to understand regional variations in echinococcosis epidemiology.
