Thirty patients with abdominal hydatid cyst treated with mebendazole [Janssen] preoperatively and the results were compared with 50 patients operated on for hydatid cysts in the liver without drug therapy. In the specimens removed we studied and compared the viability and scolex concentration of the treated to untreated group of patients. The study shows that using the drug was not without value

Eighty patients with hydatid disease were operated upon. Thirty of them were treated pre-operatively with mebendazole and other the fifty were not treated and taken as a comparison group. From both groups, hydatid fluid Specimens were removed and compared for viability and count of scolices. Results showed that 40% of scolices were viable in the treated group, while 84% of scolices were viable in the comparison group [P< 0.005]. The mean scolex count for the treated group was 4-6 LPF and 20-30 LPF in the comparison group. It was concluded that pre-operative treatment with mebendazole might be effective in the management of hydatidosis
