Abstract

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus. There are three known species of Echinococcus that lead to the disease among humans. E. granulosus is the most common of the three. A 26-year-old man admitted to emergency room with a cough, dyspnea, tachycardia, and chest pain was hospitalized with suspected pneumonia. The patient was in poor general condition and was conscious. On physical examination, fever: 37.3°C/axillary, blood pressure: 165/100 mmHg, cardiac pulse: 114/min, remarkable bilateral pretibial edema, peripheral cyanosis, and disseminated rales and rhonchi were found. Chest radiography showed the multiple disseminated cystic formations, and thorax computed tomography showed remarkable dilatation in the ring of pulmonary artery, and multiple cystic formations in the lung area. The disseminated pulmonary hydatid cyst disease was diagnosed according to clinical and laboratory findings. Albendazole 800 mg/kg daily was administered to the patient for three months. The patient recovered markedly after this treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case of primary disseminated pulmonary hydatid cyst to manifest with right-side cardiac failure. In endemic areas, the morbidity and mortality due to hydatid cyst may be decreased if hydatid cyst is considered among patients with suspected radiologic findings.

Özet

Kist hidatik; sestod sınıfının tenya ailesinden olan ekinokok parazitleri tarafından oluşturulan bir hastalıktır. Ekinokokların insanda hastalık yaptığı bilinen üç türü vardır. Echinococcus granulosus en sık enfeksiyon yapan türdür. Acil servise öksürük, nefes darlığı, taşikardi ve göğüs ağrısı ile başvuran 26 yaşında erkek hasta pnömoni şüphesi ile yatırıldı. Genel durumu kötü ve bilinci açık olan hastanın fizik muayenesinde, ateş 37.3°C/aksiler, tansiyon arteriel 165/100 mmHg, nabız 114/dk, iki taraflı belirgin pretibiyal ödem, periferik siyanoz ve akciğerlerde yaygın ral ve ronküsler saptandı. Akciğer grafisi ve toraks bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) çok sayıda yaygın kistik oluşumlar görüldü. Ayrıca toraks BT'de pulmoner arter çapında belirgin genişleme saptandı. Klinik ve laboratuvar bulgulara göre hastaya yaygın pulmoner kist hidatik hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Albendazol 800 mg/kg/gün üç ay süreyle hastaya başlandı. Bu tedaviden sonra hastada belirgin düzelme görüldü. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, bu olgu sağ kalp yetmezliği bulgularıyla başvuran ilk primer yaygın tutulumlu pulmoner kist hidatik olgusudur. Endemik bölgelerde kist hidatik açısından şüpheli radyolojik bulguları olan hastalarda kist hidatik düşünülmesi, hastalığa bağlı morbiditeyi ve mortaliteyi azaltabilir.
