Abstract

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease which occurs due to cyst hydatid Echinococcus granulosus and occurs in the liver in 55-70% of cases. Cyst hydatid treatment can be performed in three ways: primary surgery, medical and PAIR (Puncture Aspiration Injection Reaspiration) treatment. Medical treatment can be applied with PAIR in order to decrease post-surgery recurrence and facilitate the treatment in repeating cases. The most commonly used agent in medical treatment is albendazole. The most common albendazole-induced side effect is elevated levels of liver enzymes. It rarely causes bone marrow toxic consequences. We present herein a case with albendazole-induced leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, which to our knowledge has never been reported in the literature.

Özet

Kist hidatik echinococcus granulosusa bağlı oluşan ve %55-70 karaciğerde görülen paraziter bir hastalıktır. Kist hidatik tedavisi primer cerrahi olmak üzere, medikal ve PAIR (perkütan aspirasyon injeksiyon reaspirasyon) tedavisi olmak üzere üç şekilde verilebilir. Nüks eden olgularda, cerrahi sonrası rekurrensi azaltmak ve işlemi kolaylaştırmak için PAIR ile birlikte medikal tedavi verilebilir. Medikal tedavide en sık tercih edilen ajan albendazoldur. Albendazol kullanımına bağlı en sık görülen yan etki karaciğer fonksiyon testi yüksekliğidir. Kemik iliği supresyonuna nadiren neden olur. Bu makalede albendazol kullanımına bağlı lökopeni ve trombositopeni gelişen bir vakayı literatürde daha önce görülmemesi nedeniyle sunduk.
