Abstract

Abstract Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by Echinococcus genus of tapeworm, resulting from ingestion of tapeworm eggs and leading to formation of cysts predominantly in the liver and lungs. Multiorgan involvement in children is unusual. We present a case of a 12-year-old female with multiple organ involvement. Patient had history of abdominal pain, breathlessness, irritability and vomiting. Plain radiograph showed a large ovoid calcific lesion projected over the liver. Abdominal sonography demonstrated multiple hydatid cysts in the liver, spleen and left kidney. Ultrasound findings were further confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography that showed additional hydatid cysts in bilateral lungs. All accessible cysts were excised on laparotomy. Cystic hydatid disease should be suspected in all pediatric patients with multiple cystic lesions, especially in endemic areas.
小儿多器官原发性播散性包虫病1例罕见病例报告
摘要包虫病是绦虫棘球绦虫属的一种寄生虫感染,由摄入绦虫卵引起,主要在肝脏和肺部形成囊肿。儿童多器官受累并不常见。我们报告一个12岁的女性多器官受累的病例。患者有腹痛、呼吸困难、烦躁和呕吐史。x线平片显示肝脏上有一个巨大的卵形钙化灶。腹部超音波显示肝脏、脾脏及左肾有多个包虫囊肿。超声结果进一步证实了对比增强计算机断层扫描显示双侧肺有额外的包虫囊肿。所有可触及的囊肿均在剖腹手术中切除。囊性包虫病应怀疑所有儿童患者多发性囊性病变,特别是在流行地区。
