Methods: Totally 1500 serum samples were collected from patients referred to different health centers in 8 cities of East-Azarbaijan province. All the sera were examined using ELISA test.
Results: Nineteen cases (1.28%) were positive for human hydatidosis in East-Azarbaijan province using ELISA test. From these cases, 8 cases (0.93%) were from urban areas and 11 cases (1.8%) were from rural areas. 1.76% of females and 0.83% of males were positive and age group 30-40 years old had the highest rate of positivity (1.66%). There were no statistically significant different between gender and age groups and residency area.
