ABSTRACT
Present study retrospectively analysed the serological data of patients suspected of cystic echinococcosis (CE) attending the outpatient clinics or admitted in our hospital. An enzyme-linked immunoassay was used to analyse anti-CE antibodies in serum samples of 3680 patients. Microscopy of aspirated cystic fluid was performed on 170 cases only. CE seropositive cases were 595 (16.2%), of which 293 (49.2%) were males and 302 (50.8%) were females. A higher percentage of seropositivity was found in adults within age range of 21-40 years of age. There has been a decrease in seropositivity in the study years (2016-2021) in comparison to previous years (1999-2015).
