Hydatid disease is a zoonotic infection in humans. The disease is endemic in some parts of the world, including Africa, Australia, and Asia, where cattle grazing is common; the disease is spread by an enteric route following the consumption of food contaminated with the eggs of the parasite. Failure to identify this parasite results in delayed diagnosis and increased morbidity to the patient. Upon diagnosis, every possible step should be taken, both surgical and medical, to prevent anaphylactic reactions from the cystic fluid. Postsurgical long-term follow up along with periodical ultrasonography of the liver and computed tomography scan of the abdomen is essential to rule out possible recurrence.
包虫病是一种人畜共患的人类感染性疾病。该病在世界上一些地区呈地方性流行，包括非洲、澳大利亚和亚洲，这些地区牛群放牧很普遍；该病通过食用被寄生虫卵污染的食物后经肠道途径传播。未能识别这种寄生虫会导致诊断延迟并增加患者的发病率。一经诊断，应采取一切可能的措施，包括手术和药物治疗，以防止囊肿液引起过敏反应。术后长期随访以及定期对肝脏进行超声检查和对腹部进行计算机断层扫描对于排除可能的复发至关重要。
