Trichosrongylids are helminths of ruminants located gastrointestinal and manifested clinically mainly by diarrhea, weight loss, anemia and cachexia. They are produced by parasites belonging to the family Trichostrongylidae with genres: Ostertagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Cooperia and Nematodirus. The study was accomplished in 2013 in Hidişeul de Sus village, Bihor County, and aimed to test the effectiveness of the Albendazole 10% in the natural infestations with gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep. Sheep studied consisted of 60 individuals from Turcana breed. Feces were examined by flotation method and to know the infestation level McMaster method was used, calculating the EPG value on day 0 of treatment, day 7 and day 14 post treatments. Anthelmintic efficacy (E%) of the used product was of 97.03% after the FECRT formula. For a more meaningful expression it was used also Presidente and Borgsteede relations, where the result of efficiency for the tested product was 98% for both formulas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are 3 therapeutic modalities to treat cystic echinococcosis: chemotherapy, surgery (classic or laparoscopic), PAIR technique (puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration), with the latter two being performed with or without chemotherapy. We present the case of of a 17-year-old female, with a 6-month-old caesarean section in her medical history, diagnosed, by another medical facility, with a hepatic hydatid cyst, who presents with pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea and vomiting. The ultrasound examination revealed a cystic mass in the fifth hepatic segment, on the visceral surface, which compresses the right branch of portal vein and the gall bladder. It was decided to perform a Lagrot cystectomy under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation. The pacient received albendazole postoperatively, knowing that the patient will continue breastfeeding, because this treatment can be safely administered due to the reduced concentration of the active metabolite in breast milk.
