Urogenital echinococcus disease

Echinococcus disease, also known as hydatid disease, is a common parasitic disease in livestock areas and a zoonotic disease. It is more common in western provinces and regions. Hydatids mainly invade the kidneys in the urogenital system, and a few infect the bladder, spermatic cord, and testes. Bladder hydatid disease is caused by ruptured cysts of renal hydatid disease or ruptured pelvic cysts into the bladder.
