Abstract :

Hydatid disease is a zoonotic parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases which is expensive and complicated to treat, which might require prolonged treatment or surgery [1]. It affects more than one million at any given time[1]. Humans are infected through ingestion of contaminated food, water or soil, or after direct contact with animal hosts. The parasite usually affects the liver with Hydatid disease of the lung being uncommon. Albendazole and surgery remains the treatment of choice for Hydatid disease of the lung. This zoonosis continues to be a major public health problem in developing countries and early treatment is necessary to avoid complications. Complete removal of the parasite without unnecessary damage to host tissue is the goal of treatment. Deworming of dogs, Slaughterhouse hygiene, and public education are necessary to reduce the burden of this disease.
