About

This study aims to investigate the role of these laboratory findings in the differential diagnosis and management of pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) by examining the number of euzonophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune inflammatory index values in the peripheral blood of patients diagnosed with pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) in the preoperative period and post-operative 3rd month. Although we have extensive data on hydatid liver cysts, there is limited information in the literature on the laboratory values of patients with PHC. This study aims to provide more scientific basis for the diagnosis and management of PHC and is considered as an inexpensive, reproducible and easily calculable method to improve the accurate diagnosis and management of AKH in clinical practice.

Full description

Hydatid cyst of the lung (HCC) is a health problem caused by a small species of tapeworm called Echinococcus granulosus, a parasitic infection that can occur in humans and other mammals. Hydatid cysts are cysts caused by the larvae of the parasite. They most commonly form in the liver and lungs, but can also occur in other organs. E. granulosus lives in the intestines of animals and excretes them in their feces. Humans can get the eggs of this parasite through contact or under poor hygiene conditions. The ingested eggs hatch in the stomach and intestine and the larvae enter the bloodstream, then form cysts in various organs throughout the body.

Cystic echinococcosis is a disease in which a large group of patients live in conditions of material and social poverty. The disease has a widespread distribution worldwide and the regions with high disease prevalence are Southeast Europe, the Middle East, North, Central and East Asia and South America.
