Hydatid disease is a common zoonosis caused by the larval cysts of Echinococcus granulosus (parasitic tapeworm). In children, lung hydatid cysts are more common than liver cysts, whereas in adults the reverse is true. Pulmonary hydatids can be accompanied by concurrent liver cysts. Leakage or rupture of a hydatid cyst can cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. Albendazole is effective therapy either alone or as an adjunct to surgery.
包虫病是一种由细粒棘球绦虫（寄生性绦虫）的幼虫囊肿引起的常见人畜共患病。在儿童中，肺包虫囊肿比肝囊肿更常见，而在成人中则相反。肺包虫病可伴有同时存在的肝囊肿。包虫囊肿的渗漏或破裂可引起过敏反应，包括过敏反应。阿苯达唑单独使用或作为手术辅助治疗均有效。
