Abstract
⺠At least 137 cases of cystic echinococcosis are to be expected in South Africa annually. ⺠Numbers are likely to be higher due to high proportions of seronegative cases. ⺠Prevalences appear to be higher in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces. ⺠Co-infection with HIV may not lead to more cases of disseminated disease.
