摘要
This report aims to assess the epidemiological characteristics of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in the largest Romanian county (Timis County). Our study group included 182 patients diagnosed with this condition during 2004-2010. The yearly detection rate of new cases was 3.8 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. People over 40 years old accounted for 52.7% of cases. The incidence was higher in women and in rural inhabitants. No statistically significant decline in the number and incidence of CE cases was observed throughout the study period (R-2 = 0.24, p 0.3). Consequently, more efficient implementation of correct public health measures is required to fully prevent and eradicate CE in this region.
