Abstract
The study included 45 samples of hydatid cysts isolated from humans in the period from April 2021 to November 2021 from hospitals in central and northern Iraq, and 3 mL of blood was collected from the same people with hydatid cysts. The primary study was conducted in private laboratories near the hospitals. As for the immunological study, it was conducted in the Sama Dubai laboratory for pathological analyzes / Al-Harithiya, the study aimed to investigate some immunological indicators in patients with hydatid cysts and compare them with the same indicators for healthy people. These indicators included interleukin-6, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IgE, and IgG of Echinococcus granulosus, The results of the study showed an increase in the levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IgE and IgG to Echinococcus granulosus in the blood serum of patients with hydatid cysts with a very significant difference from the healthy ones, as well as a high level of the studied immune indicators in the blood serum of patients who had isolated hydatid cysts From the liver, about the level of the immunological indicators studied in the serum of patients who were isolated from the lungs by hydatid cysts, except for the IgG to Echinococcus granulosus.
