GISTOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RECURRENT PULMONARY ECHINOCOCCOSIS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the clinical and morphological characteristics of recurrent pulmonary echinococcosis. The aim of the study was to establish the morphological forms of echinococcal cysts in patients with recurrent echinococcosis of the lungs. Immediate complications after surgery were observed in 6(11.3%) patients. An analysis of the morphological characteristics of echinococcal cysts of the lungs showed that recurrent echinococcosis was most often found in Echinococcus veterinorum (50.9%), Echinococcus hominis (37.7%), and in Echinococcus acephalocystis no relapses of the disease were observed, and if they did occur (6 – 11.3%), it was associated with the reinvasion of the parasite.
