The efficacy of albendazole treatment in a patient with hydatid cyst disease of multiorgan involvement
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
Hydatid cyst disease, which is caused by echinococcus granulosus still poses a serious problem in endemic areas. The disease frequently involves liver and lung. Other organ involvements are rare. In a 18-year old patient, bilateral lung, right ventricle of heart, liver and spleen involvement were detected. With albendazole treatment cyst in heart was completely disappeared, and liver cyst was found to be decreased in size. However, no decline in the number and size of cysts in lung was observed. Therefore, it was concluded that albendazole may not be effective in pulmonary hydatid disease compared to other organs. Key words: Albendazole, hydatid cyst, multiorgan involvement
