Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of adult patients followed up for hydatid cysts disease.
Method: Patients over the age of 18 years who were diagnosed with hydatid disease, between January 2015 and September 2021 were included in the study. The clinical, laboratory and radiologic characteristics of the patients were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: The study included 66 patients. 59.1% of the patients were female and the mean age was 40.9±15.60 years. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain (42.4%). The most common sites of involvement were the liver (78.8%) and lung (18.2%). The majority of patients had solitary cysts (84.8%). The most common finding in laboratory tests was elevated total IgE (74.1%). The indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test was positive in 77.4% of the patients tested.
Conclusion: In our study, it was concluded that hydatid cysts are most commonly seen in the liver, often with single organ involvement, and that elevated total IgE in laboratory diagnosis may be helpful in the diagnosis of hydatid cyst disease, although it does not make a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kist hidatik nedeniyle takip edilen erişkin hastaların özelliklerini değerlendirmekti.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ocak 2015-Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında kist hidatik tanısı konan 18 yaş üstünde hastalar dahil edildi. Hastalara ait klinik, laboratuvar, radyolojik özellikler retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 66 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların %59,1’i kadın cinsiyette olup, yaş ortalaması 40.9±15.60 yıldı. Hastaların en sık tarifledikleri başvuru semptomu karın ağrısıydı (%42,4). En sık tutulum yeri sırasıyla karaciğer (%78,8) ve akciğerdi (%18,2). Hastaların büyük çoğunluğunda soliter kist (%84,8) vardı. Laboratuvar tetkiklerinde en sık saptanan bulgu total IgE yüksekliğiydi (%74,1). İndirekt hemaglütinasyon (IHA) testi, test edilen hastaların % 77,4’ünde pozitif olarak saptandı.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda kist hidatiğin en sık karaciğerde görüldüğü, sıklıkla tek organ tutulumu şeklinde olduğu, laboratuvar tanısında total IgE yüksekliğinin kist hidatik hastalığınını kesin tanısını koydurmasa da tanıya yardımcı olabileceği sonucuna varıldı.
