Abstract

We report a 4-year-old girl with disseminated cystic echinococcosis in the lung and the liver and a solitary cyst in the left kidney. Mebendazole therapy produced complete resolution of the lung and kidney cysts. In the liver, most of the smaller cysts disappeared, whereas the larger cysts showed only partial response and required surgical excision. Our experience reinforce the finding in previous reports that long term medical treatment of cystic echinococcosis with mebendazole can be lifesaving in cases that are unmanageable by surgical treatment.

摘要

我们报告了一名4岁女童，其肺部、肝脏患有播散性囊型包虫病，左肾有一个孤立囊肿。甲苯咪唑治疗使肺部和肾囊肿完全消退。在肝脏，大多数较小的囊肿消失，而较大的囊肿仅部分缓解，需要手术切除。我们的经验证实了先前报告中的发现，即对于无法通过手术治疗的囊型包虫病病例，长期使用甲苯咪唑进行药物治疗可挽救生命。
