Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is one of the most important zoonoses worldwide. Long post-treatment follow-up is required because of possible relapse. The objective of this study was to determine the values of different antigenic fractions of sheep hydatid cyst fluid in the follow-up of CE patients after treatment.
