A RARE CASE OF CYSTIC ECHINOCOCCOSIS PRESENTING WITH MACROSCOPIC HYDATIDURIA
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Hydatid cyst in urinary tract is a rarity but passage of hydatid cysts in urine is something seldom reported before. A 55-year-old lady reported to us with complaints of burning micturition and passage of white cysts in urine. The blood showed a picture of hypersensitivity while the urine showed an infective picture. The radiological evaluations and histopathological study of the cysts confirmed diagnosis of Cystic Echinococcosis in the patient. The haematological spread of the disease is perhaps the only answer to presence of the multiple cysts in rare locations as observed in this patient.
