We report a case of pulmonary cystic echinococcosis in a child from eastern Finland with no history of travelling abroad. The cyst was surgically removed and the organism molecularly identified as Echinococcus canadensis genotype G10. This parasite is maintained in eastern Finland in a sylvatic life cycle involving wolves and moose; in the present case, the infection was presumably transmitted by hunting dogs.
我们报告了一例来自芬兰东部的儿童肺包虫病病例，该患儿无出国旅行史。囊肿已通过手术切除，通过分子鉴定该病原体为基因型 G10 的加拿大棘球绦虫。这种寄生虫在芬兰东部的森林生态系统中以野生动物循环的方式存在，涉及狼和驼鹿；在目前的情况下，感染可能是通过猎犬传播的。
