The Importance of Inflammatory Markers Calculated From Preoperative and Postoperative Peripheral Blood Results in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients Operated for Hydatid Cyst of the Lung (Lung Echinococcus Granulosus)
This study aims to investigate the role of these laboratory findings in the differential diagnosis and management of pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) by examining the number of euzonophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune inflammatory index values in the peripheral blood of patients diagnosed with pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) in the preoperative period and post-operative 3rd month. Although we have extensive data on hydatid liver cysts, there is limited information in the literature on the laboratory values of patients with PHC. This study aims to provide more scientific basis for the diagnosis and management of PHC and is considered as an inexpensive, reproducible and easily calculable method to improve the accurate diagnosis and management of AKH in clinical practice.
• Between January 1, 2022 - December 1, 2023, patients with hydatid cyst of the lung who were hospitalized in the Thoracic Surgery Service
