Hydatidosis is the larval stage of the Echinococcusgranulosus. This disease is endemic in Iran. There are many studies about hydatidosis in different regions of the country, but there is not any information about the disease in Kermanshah Province. This article will review all available data about hydatidosis in this province.
Using web based search engines and a survey on medical student's theses, all the information about hydatid cysts in the province from 1986 -2008 was collected.
During these twenty years, at least 482 proven cases of hydatid cyst have been identified in the province. Accordingly, the trend of hydatid cyst operation in the province has been growing and the average annual number of cases has reached 1.41/100,000. Frequency of disease in urban areas was slightly higher than rural areas and the rate of infection in housewives was more than others.
Because of the growing trend of hydatid cyst operation in Kermanshah Province, which may be due to many different reasons, this province should be considered as one of the important endemic regions of hydatidosis in Iran.
包虫病是细粒棘球绦虫的幼虫阶段。这种疾病在伊朗呈地方性流行。该国不同地区有许多关于包虫病的研究，但克尔曼沙阿省尚无关于该疾病的任何信息。本文将综述该省所有关于包虫病的现有数据。
通过基于网络的搜索引擎以及对医学生论文的调查，收集了该省1986年至2008年期间所有关于包虫囊肿的信息。
在这二十年中，该省至少确诊了482例包虫囊肿病例。相应地，该省包虫囊肿手术的趋势一直在增长，年平均病例数已达1.41/10万。城市地区的疾病发生率略高于农村地区，家庭主妇的感染率高于其他人。
由于克尔曼沙阿省包虫囊肿手术呈增长趋势，这可能是由多种不同原因导致的，该省应被视为伊朗包虫病的重要地方性流行地区之一。
