Four cases of cystic hydatid disease treated with albendazole are described. The first patient had previously undergone surgical treatment with only partial removal of her hepatic cysts. The size of the remaining cyst resulted remarkably reduced after three courses of the drug. The second patient had recurrent hydatid disease involving the lumbar spine. After therapy, an evident diminution in the size of the cyst was detected. Two patients (one with a partially calcified cyst of the liver, the other one with multiple pulmonary lesions) did not show any objective evidence of improvement. Failures were probably due to the presence of calcified or thick-walled cysts. In all the patients, neither side-effects were observed, nor recurrences were noted during a 2 years' follow-up. In cystic hydatid disease, whenever radical surgical procedures are impracticable, albendazole treatment can achieve significant clinical results.
本文描述了4例用阿苯达唑治疗的囊型包虫病患者。首例患者先前接受过手术治疗，仅部分切除了肝囊肿。经过三个疗程的药物治疗后，剩余囊肿的大小显著缩小。第二例患者患有复发性腰椎包虫病。治疗后，发现囊肿大小明显减小。另外两名患者（一名肝脏有部分钙化囊肿，另一名有多个肺部病变）未显示出任何客观的改善迹象。治疗失败可能是由于存在钙化或厚壁囊肿。在所有患者中，在两年的随访期间既未观察到副作用，也未发现复发。在囊型包虫病中，只要根治性手术不可行，阿苯达唑治疗就能取得显著的临床效果。
