Authors Aksharaditya Shukla 1 , Ashok Panchonia, Khusbu Likhar, Aseem Rangnekar* *Corresponding Author Aseem Rangnekar* Abstract Introduction: The hydatid cyst is a zoonosis caused by adult or larval stages of tape worms belonging to the genus Echinococcus. Hydatid disease has wide geographic distribution and is considered a public health problem. Diagnosis and treatment of Hydatid disease mandates thorough clinical and diagnostic work-up. Material and Methods: A retrospective study undertaken at the department of Pathology in a Tertiary care Government hospital and Medical College in Central India. Socio-demographic data from a total 34 cases of hydatid disease were collected. Detailed clinical history, laboratory findings and histopathological evaluation by H & E stained slides was done for confirming the diagnosis. The data was entered in Microsoft Excel and proportions were calculated Results: Out of 34 cases, liver was involved in 30 cases. After liver, lung is most commonly affected site showing involvement in 4 cases. Most of the patients were of 41-50 years of age. Average cyst size is 13.5 cm. Incidence of hydatid disease is more in male as compared to female with ratio of about 2.5:1. Most of the cases were found having animals at home or live in close association with animals. We found that 57.6% of symptomatic and 62.5% of asymptomatic patients had elevated Eosinophil counts. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst can involve any part of the body and patients are may be asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms. Complete diagnostic work-up including detailed clinical history, specific information about animal contact, radiological examination and complete blood counts to look for Eosinophilia and confirmatory histopathology is of utmost importance.
