Iatrogenic hydatid cutaneous fistulization in a patient with coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
We report a very rare case of Pleural hydatid cyst in a known case of pulmonary tuberculosis which presented as discharging wound of the chest wall resulting due to intercostal drain insertion misdiagnosing it as tubercular effusion/empyema. This is a very unusual presentation of such cases. Patient was treated by thoracotomy with evacuation of the cyst. Patient recovered in four weeks time and was discharged with anti tuberculosis and anti-parasitic treatment. This case emphasizes the importance of suspicion in concomitant disease in endemic areas for echinococcosis and tuberculosis.
