Abstract

The diagnosis and management of pulmonary hydatid cyst disease represents an important clinical problem in countries of the world that are endemic to echinococcal infection. Atypical clinical and radiologic findings including multiple cavitary lesions in the lung and pleural effusion may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis in these patients. We report a patient who was followed up in our hospital with rashes and, clinical and radiologic findings of necrotizing pneumonia in whom there was no response to broad spectrum antibiotherapy. Lung computed tomography showed multiple thick-walled cystic lesions and pleural effusion and the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cyst disease was confirmed by surgical and serologic examinations. Antibiotic treatment was changed to albendazole 10 mg/kg/day. There was no liver involvement in terms of cyst hydatid disease with ultrasonographic examination. Skin biopsy showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Complete clinical and radiologic improvement was achieved in three months and albendazole treatment lasted six months

Özet

Ekinokok enfeksiyonlarının endemik olduğu dünya ülkelerinde akciğerde kist hidatik hastalığının tanı ve tedavisi önemli bir klinik sorundur. Özgün olmayan klinik bulgular, akciğerde birden fazla kistvarlığı, plevral efüzyon gibi radyolojik bulgular bu hastalarda tanınınyanlış konulmasına ve gecikmesine neden olmaktadır. Hastanemizdedöküntü ve geniş spektrumlu antibiyotik tedavisine yanıt vermeyennekrotizan pnömoniye ait klinik ve radyolojik bulgular nedeniyle izlenen bir olgu sunuldu. Akciğer bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesindebirden fazla kalın duvarlı kistik lezyon ve plevral efüzyon vardı. Akciğerde kist hidatik hastalığı tanısı cerrahi ve serolojik olarak doğrulandı. Hastanın almakta olduğu antibiyotik tedavisi albendazol (10mg/kg/gün) ile değiştirildi. Ultrasonografik incelemede kist hidatikhastalığı açısından karaciğer tutulumu saptanmadı. Cilt biyopsisi lökositoklastik vaskülit ile uyumlu bulundu. Hastanın klinik ve radyolojik olarak tam düzelmesi üç ayda gerçekleşti, albendazol tedavisi altıaya tamamlandı
