A retrospective hospital survey of patients having undergone surgery for hydatidosis was undertaken in order to evaluate hydatic endemicity in central Tunisia and the Sahel. The study made it possible to establish the following: an average prevalence of 22.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants; a significant underregistration of the illness, only 51.5% of the cases being reported; certain high-risk rural areas are characterized by a prevalence exceeding 40 per 100,000 inhabitants; the disease is more frequent among women; surgical hydatidosis is not rare among the very young and the very old; among adults, the liver is the first organ affected, followed by the lungs; among children, it is the opposite. Hydatidosis thus represents a commonly-occurring disease that is frequently underestimated in official statistics. A preventive program must be conceived to control this scourge.
为评估突尼斯中部和萨赫勒地区的包虫病流行情况，对曾接受包虫病手术的患者进行了一项回顾性医院调查。该研究得以确定以下情况：每10万居民中平均患病率为22.8例；该病存在严重漏报情况，仅51.5%的病例得到报告；某些高风险农村地区的患病率超过每10万居民40例；女性中该病更为常见；手术性包虫病在极年幼和极年老者中并不罕见；在成年人中，肝脏是首个受影响的器官，其次是肺；在儿童中则相反。因此，包虫病是一种常见疾病，但在官方统计中经常被低估。必须制定一项预防计划来控制这一祸害。
