Echinococcosis and/or hydatidosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases in the world. In Turkey, echinococcosis is an endemic disease, however, hydatid disease of the lung is uncommon and usually caused by Echinococcus granulosus.
In this report we describe a 17-year-old male patient who presented with massive hemoptysis due to hydatid disease of the lung.
Although it is one of the less common causes of massive hemoptysis, hydatid disease of the lung requires greater attention in countries, such as Turkey, in which hydatid cyst disease is common.
棘球蚴病和/或包虫病是世界上最重要的人畜共患疾病之一。在土耳其,棘球蚴病是一种地方病,然而,肺部包虫病并不常见,通常由细粒棘球绦虫引起。
在本报告中,我们描述了一名17岁男性患者,他因肺部包虫病出现大量咯血。
尽管肺部包虫病是大量咯血较少见的原因之一,但在土耳其等包虫囊肿病常见的国家,肺部包虫病需要更多关注。
