Of the 306 subjects studied, who had had hydatid cysts (Echinococcus granulosus) surgically excised in Jordan, 185 (60%) were female and 121 (40%) male. The liver was the most affected organ (57.8%), followed by the lung (26.4%). The kidneys, spleen, brain, soft tissues of neck, appendix and mesentery were less frequent sites. Multiple-organ infection was seen in 23 patients (7.5%). Over a third of the cases (35.8%) was aged < 21 years and the commonest occupation was housewife, followed by school student. The epidemiology of hydatidosis transmission in Jordan is discussed.
在约旦接受过细粒棘球绦虫包虫囊肿手术切除的306名研究对象中，185名（60%）为女性，121名（40%）为男性。肝脏是受影响最严重的器官（57.8%），其次是肺（26.4%）。肾脏、脾脏、大脑、颈部软组织、阑尾和肠系膜是较少见的发病部位。23名患者（7.5%）出现多器官感染。超过三分之一的病例（35.8%）年龄小于21岁，最常见的职业是家庭主妇，其次是学生。本文讨论了约旦包虫病传播的流行病学情况。
