Evaluation of the Radiological, Biochemical and Serological Parameters of Patients Prediagnosed as Cystic Echinococcosis in Çorum, Turkey

Evaluation of Cystic Echinococcosis Cases in terms of Sociodemographic, Clinical and Hospitalization Features in Karaman Province, Turkey

“…In this study, 71.6% of the CE cases were located in provincial centers and 28.4% were living in rural areas such as districts, towns, and villages. Different studies also support the findings of this study (4,19,28). 73.2% of CE patients applied to general surgery, 8.7% of internal medicine and 7.5% applied to gas-troenterology polyclinic in this study.…”

“…73.2% of CE patients applied to general surgery, 8.7% of internal medicine and 7.5% applied to gas-troenterology polyclinic in this study. General surgery (43.8%), infectious diseases (21.9%) and gastroenterology (21.9%) were the most frequently applied polyclinics when CE cases between 2009 and 2013 in Çorum were investigated (19). Our results were similar to the results of this study.…”

“…In this study, 72.8% of CE cases were seen after 40 yr of age and most cases were detected in 51-60 age group (23.0%). According to many researchers most CE cases were reported after 40 yr of age in human (4,13,19,20).

The Importance of Eosinophilia in The Early Diagnosis of Fascioliasis, Toxocariasis and Hydatidosis

“…In present study, positivity was determined at a higher rate in eosinophilic cases in the group of 36 and higher years of age and a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was obtained between age groups for the positivity of the parasite. It was observed that gender group comparisons were not conducted for positivity of hydatidosis or no statistically significant difference was determined between the groups in the related studies (Güreser et al 2015). No statistically significant difference between the genders in terms of positivity was identified in present study.…”

“…Although it is reported that young individuals are more susceptible to cystic hydatidosis comparison to older persons, different results, concerning this subject, were obtained in the studies (Eckert & Deplazes 2004). In a study, it was reported that this parasitosis was more resident in patients between the ages of 30 and 39 (Montúfar-Valer & Huapaya-Jurado 2014) and another, it was found more prevalent in patients over 40 years of age and statistically significant difference between the age groups was determined in terms of positivity (Güreser et al 2015). In present study, positivity was determined at a higher rate in eosinophilic cases in the group of 36 and higher years of age and a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was obtained between age groups for the positivity of the parasite.…”
