Abstract
The records of hydatid disease in 10 Melbourne hospitals and 12 rural hospitals in Victoria from 1970 to 1974 have been studied. In a total of 183 in-patients, the final diagnosis of hydatid disease had been confirmed surgically in 81 first admissions and in 56 readmissions. In 24 cases it was confirmed by necropsy, but in only one of these was hydatid disease believed to have been the cause of death. Figures are given for the age distribution and the organs involved.Keywords
