We report a case of a female patient with alveolar echinococcosis (AE) who presented with progressive pulmonary and hepatic lesions and had a fatal outcome. AE affecting the liver, the lungs and the brain had been diagnosed 20 years ago and treated successfully with albendazole and stereotactic gamma knife therapy. Due to severe hair loss albendazole was stopped 14 years before presentation. Lesions had remained stable in imaging studies for at least 11 years, but then had started to progress. Lifelong anthelmintic maintenance therapy and regular follow-up may therefore be crucial in order to prevent such a dramatic clinical course.
我们报告了一例女性泡型包虫病（AE）患者，其肺部和肝脏病变逐渐加重，最终导致死亡。20 年前，该患者曾被诊断为同时患有肝、肺和脑泡型包虫病，并接受了阿苯达唑和立体定向伽玛刀治疗，治疗效果良好。但在 14 年前，由于严重的脱发，该患者停止了阿苯达唑治疗。在过去的 11 年中，影像学检查显示病变一直稳定，但随后开始进展。因此，终身驱虫维持治疗和定期随访可能对于预防这种戏剧性的临床病程至关重要。
