Thirty six patients with hydatid disease have been investigated in the Radiology Departments of Cardiff hospitals between June 1973 and June 1984; thirty two of these patients are likely to have acquired the disease in Wales. There were 16 hepatic cysts, 3 renal cysts, 2 cerebral cysts, 15 pulmonary cysts, 1 pleural cyst, 1 recurrent spinal cyst, and 1 cyst of the broad ligament. The radiological features are discussed. These patients emphasize the higher incidence of hydatid disease in Wales, compared with other regions of the United Kingdom, and the need to consider this diagnosis in Welsh patients from rural areas, who have large pulmonary opacities, or hepatic, renal, or cerebral cystic abnormalities.
1973年6月至1984年6月期间，加的夫各医院放射科对36例包虫病患者进行了调查；其中32例患者可能是在威尔士感染此病的。有16例肝囊肿、3例肾囊肿、2例脑囊肿、15例肺囊肿、1例胸膜囊肿、1例复发性脊柱囊肿和1例阔韧带囊肿。文中讨论了其放射学特征。这些患者表明，与英国其他地区相比，威尔士包虫病的发病率更高，对于来自农村地区、有大片肺部阴影或肝、肾、脑囊性异常的威尔士患者，需要考虑这一诊断。
