Hydatid disease is considered as an important emerging neglected disease worldwide. Cystic echinococcosis is a neglected disease of public health significance in many low and middle-income countries. The objective of our study was to determine the epidemiological profile of human hydatidosis in Tlemcen. A prospective study was conducted at University Hospital Center (UHC) of Tlemcen, from 2003 to 2018 from the declaration of notifiable diseases. Data entry and analysis was done using Epi-info software 6. One hundred and fifty-eight (158) patients were declared during 16 years of registartion at the UHC of Tlemcen. Ninety three point zero three percent (93.03%) of the reports of cases were received from the surgical services and 6 cases from the pneumology department. A slight female predominance was noted with sex-ratio (Females/Males): 1.15. More than half of the patients were subjects over 40 years old. Three cases were noted in children. The average age was 42.38 ± 17.14 years. The liver was the most frequent organ involved in our study followed by pulmonary localization. Fifty one point eight seven (51.87%) of cases were from rural areas and 46.2% from urban areas. Human hydatidosis remains an under-reported and neglected disease in Tlemcen whose fight is essentially based on preventive measures and requires multisectoral collaboration.
