Basrah - College of Pharmacy Media:

The College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah organized a seminar titled "A Rare and Obscure Medical Case," in a lecture presented by Dr. Noor Mohammed.

The seminar included an explanation of the case of a female patient who was transferred to the hospital's emergency unit after experiencing severe pain in the upper right side of her body, following a strong hug from a friend. Upon performing medical tests, it was found that the patient had elevated liver enzymes and white blood cells. By conducting an ultrasound and CT scan on the patient, it was revealed that the cause of her pain was the rupture of a tapeworm cyst (Hydatid cyst) that she had previously suffered from without exhibiting any symptoms.

The seminar also explained the nature of tapeworm disease, how it develops, its risks, and the guaranteed and effective methods for its treatment.
