Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common zoonotic disease in the world, which is caused by the larval form of settling in various organs in both animals and humans. It is common in livestock breeding areas and rural areas. This study was conducted to determine anti- seropositivity in patients with clinical pre-diagnosis/suspected CE in Kafkas University Health Research and Application Hospital in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey.
Study material; between January 2018 and December 2020, 498 blood samples were sent to the Parasitology Laboratory from patients with clinical pre-diagnosis of CE, who applied to Kafkas University Health Research and Application Hospital for three years. The obtained serum samples were analyzed by indirect hemagglutination method.
Anti- antibodies were detected in 74 (14.9%) of 498 patients with clinical pre-diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Of the positive cases, 53 (71.6%) were observed in women, and 21 (28.4%) in men (p<0.05). Anti- antibodies were most commonly detected in the 16-30 age group (32.9%) (p<0.05), and 19.3% in the 16-60 age group.
Although the study data do not cover the entire Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, it has been concluded that KE maintains its importance as a public health problem in the region.
包虫病（CE）是一种常见的世界范围的人畜共患疾病，由定居在动物和人类各种器官中的幼虫期引起。它在畜牧业地区和农村地区很常见。本研究旨在确定土耳其东安纳托利亚地区卡法克斯大学健康研究与应用医院临床疑似 CE 患者的抗血清阳性率。
研究材料；2018 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月，3 年来，498 份来自临床疑似包虫病患者的血液样本被送往寄生虫学实验室。用间接血凝法分析获得的血清样本。
在 498 例临床拟诊包虫病患者中，有 74 例（14.9%）检测到抗抗体。阳性病例中，女性 53 例（71.6%），男性 21 例（28.4%）（p<0.05）。在 16-30 岁年龄组（32.9%）（p<0.05）最常检测到抗抗体，在 16-60 岁年龄组中为 19.3%。
尽管研究数据并未涵盖土耳其东安纳托利亚地区的全部地区，但已得出结论，KE 在该地区仍是一个公共卫生问题。
