Abstract
Hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis is an infestation caused by the larval form of E. granulosus species. It may develop asymptomatically or as a severe disease, often fatal, in humans.From all the patients 81% had positive, and 19% negative serology. The hydatid cyst is present in adults (46.5%) and children (53.5%). In adults hydatid cyst prevails in young adults (47%), has an incidence of 34% in adults of 40-60 years of age, 12.9% in those of 60-70 years of age and a low incidence in old people (6.5%). Hydatid cyst is more common in females (53%) than in males (47%). Is present with a percentage of 39.3 of all operated hydatid cysts in Cluj and the rest of the cases come from other areas of the county. Although the total incidence of hydatid cyst in rural communities is only slightly increased (57.9%) than in urban areas (42.1%), in some counties the incidence in village areas is significantly higher than in urban areas. Hepatic (71.5%) and pulmonary (15.5%) locations are frequent, leading by their chronic evolution to pseudotumoral signs, severe complications (1.5%), reserved prognosis (9.5%), especially in adults (14%). Hydatidosis occur both in rural and urban communities, in both genders and all age groups. The modern management of hydatidosis needs the contribution of all diagnosis and therapeutic procedures. There is an urge for the early diagnosis of the infected patients, by the development of the screening methods and a close collaboration among general practitioners, clinicians, laboratory doctors and statisticians in order to correctly diagnose of hydatidosis.
