Hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus. Even though different measures are taken including the use of a vaccine in livestock to stop transmission, the continuous diagnoses of cases, mainly of liver and pulmonary hydatidosis, show the failure of the control programs for hydatidosis in our country. A clinical case of pulmonary hydatidosis in a patient from a rural endemic area in Southern Argentina is described.
包虫病或囊型棘球蚴病是一种由绦虫棘球绦虫幼虫阶段引起的人畜共患病。尽管采取了包括在牲畜中使用疫苗以阻止传播在内的不同措施，但仍不断有病例被诊断出来，主要是肝包虫病和肺包虫病，这表明我国包虫病控制项目失败。本文描述了阿根廷南部农村流行地区一名患者的肺包虫病临床病例。
