Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Hydatid disease/echinococcus is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and it is endemic in many countries. Echinococcus commonly affect the liver but it has propensity to involve any organ or unusal location of the body.
