Abstract
The term "hydatid disease" refers to echinococcosis. Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of the Echinococcus parasite. The disease is widespread in regions where the parasite is endemic, particularly in developing nations like India. However, there are only a couple of documented case studies of echinococcosis associated with hematological malignancy in the literature. We present an extremely uncommon case of a 36-year-old male who had liver hydatidosis and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M1. The patient received treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (daunomycin, cytarabine, and 5-azacytidine), followed by management of hydatid disease after complete remission of acute leukemia. The patient underwent periodic evaluations for one year and exhibited satisfactory improvement.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy (JIC) — official journal of the Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases — welcomes original papers, laboratory or clinical, as well as case reports, notes, committee reports, surveillance and guidelines from all parts of the world on all aspects of chemotherapy, covering the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, including treatment with anticancer drugs. Experimental studies on animal models and pharmacokinetics, and reports on epidemiology and clinical trials are particularly welcome.
