Zinc toxicity associated with hydatid cyst infection among patients in Nasseriyah city \ Thiqar province , south Iraq
Abstract
Hydatidosis is endemic disaese in south of Iraq , zinc level are detected in sera of patient and hydatid cyst fluid by atomic absorption technique in colleges of Basrah university , the present study found that the zinc levels were increase in sera of patient when compare with control whom are not infected with disaese . so the levels of zinc are also increase or high in hydatid cyst fluid .References
