The annual surgical incidence rate of hydatid disease in central Tunisia varies from 11.1 to 30.1 per 100,000 population depending on the district. In order to obtain more comprehensive data, we conducted a serologic survey in the district with the highest rate, using hemagglutination-inhibition to test 480 workers from a state farm and 190 inhabitants of villages in the neighborhood. The overall prevalence rate was 1.3% (9/670). Echotomography revealed liver cysts in all cases and the diagnosis was confirmed in the eight subjects who underwent surgery. If these preliminary results are confirmed by further surveys, mass screening might be considered in high risk districts.
突尼斯中部地区包虫病的年手术发病率因地区而异,每10万人口中从11.1例至30.1例不等。为了获取更全面的数据,我们在发病率最高的地区进行了一项血清学调查,采用血凝抑制试验对一家国营农场的480名工人和附近村庄的190名居民进行检测。总体患病率为1.3%(9/670)。超声断层扫描显示所有病例均有肝囊肿,8例接受手术的患者诊断得到证实。如果这些初步结果能被进一步调查所证实,那么在高危地区可考虑进行大规模筛查。
