Intracystic bleeding of a solitary hydatid cyst: A rare complication of a rare disease in central Africa. A case report

Splenic cysts are rare lesions and most of them are hydatid in origin. Hydatid disease is very rare in central Africa although it is cosmopolitan in North Africa. We are presenting a case of intracystic bleeding complicated with shock in a rural based Cameroonian and owner of hunting dogs treated in our university teaching hospital.

新疆福海县科克阿尕什乡人体包虫病调查

1990年11月及1991年8月对新疆福海县科克阿尕什乡居民人体包虫病作了普查。共普查416个家庭,1796例居民,其中男性859例,女性937例,年龄1～84岁。哈克萨族1351例,汉族417例,其它民族28例。同时抽查家犬11只,检查野生狐狸10只。结果:包虫病手术史者15例(0.84％),B超检查阳性者11例(0.61％),点酶联免疫试验阳性者59例(3.29％),滤纸血ELISA试验阳性者98例(5.46％),总阳性率9.08％。年龄组间和民族间阳性率无显著性差异。4只家犬感染棘球绦虫,感染率36.4％。3只狐狸感染棘球绦虫,感染率33.3％。416个家庭中,33％养有家犬,60％养有绵羊及其它牲畜,49％家庭宰杀牲畜,大于5岁的居民几乎全部缺乏有关包虫病方面的科普知识。这些因素可能是导致包虫病流行的重要原因。
