Cystic echinococcosis, which commonly starts during childhood or adolescence, is a serious problem of public health in Tunisia. For 121 children (161 cysts), the localization and fertility of cysts as well as viability of their protoscoleces were determined. Results indicated that the lung was the primary localization of cyst (59%) followed by the liver (35%). Children's infection is more frequent in male than in female (sex ratio 1.96) and the greatest number of cases is observed in the 4-9 year age groups (94 cases). The fertility of the cyst was independent of its site or its size and no incidence of age of children was detected. Nevertheless, the fertility rate is higher in females than in males for the liver localization.
囊型棘球蚴病通常始于儿童期或青春期,是突尼斯一个严重的公共卫生问题。对121名儿童(161个囊肿)的囊肿定位、生育能力以及原头节的活力进行了测定。结果表明,肺部是囊肿的主要定位部位(59%),其次是肝脏(35%)。儿童感染在男性中比女性更常见(性别比为1.96),且在4至9岁年龄组中观察到的病例数最多(94例)。囊肿的生育能力与其部位或大小无关,未检测到儿童年龄的影响。然而,对于肝脏定位,女性的生育率高于男性。
