RESUMO
The ultrastructural changes induced in hydatid cysts from lungs of sheep after medication with one or two courses of mebendazole (Ovitelmin), each lasting 3 wk, are described. The hydatid germinal membrane tissue collected from the treated sheep showed complete degeneration of the tegumental and subtegumental structures and minor degree of calcification. Lung hydatid cysts of the untreated sheep presented normal ultrastructural configurations.

One hundred and twenty-two patients out of 500 examined by CAT scan were found to have hydatid cysts. The distribution of the cysts according to age, sex, location and number are discussed. CAT is recommended as the radiological procedure of choice in the diagnosis of hydatid cysts due to its advantages over other conventional radiological procedures.
