Fifteen patients with surgically proven hydatid disease of the lung aged between 4 and 51 years were studied. The disease spectrum varied from single to multiple cysts of different sizes, with associated pyogenic chest infections or parasitic infestations of the gut. The serum IgE level varied widely in these cases and very high levels were found in 60% of the patients. This high IgE response was related to the vitality of the cysts, associated bacterial infection of the chest, infection with helminths and smoking habit.
对15例经手术证实患有肺包虫病的患者进行了研究，患者年龄在4岁至51岁之间。疾病谱从单个到多个大小不同的囊肿不等，并伴有化脓性胸部感染或肠道寄生虫感染。这些病例中血清IgE水平差异很大，60%的患者发现IgE水平非常高。这种高IgE反应与囊肿的活力、胸部相关细菌感染、蠕虫感染及吸烟习惯有关。
