[A rare case of generalized echinococcosis and pregnancy]

The authors describe a rare case of combination of generalized echinococcosis and gravidity. It concerns about a 23-years-old patient in 10 lunar month in whom 10 days before the term, accidentally through ultrasound is found an Echinococcus cyst in the liver. The delivery performed with planned caesarean section without disturbance of the cyst, ended successfully. Two days after the surgery the patient complained of troubled respiration and oppression. The X-ray photograph showed 3 Echinococcus cysts more--one in the right end two in the left lungs. The problem was solved with three more operations after 2, 6 and 10 months, with which the Echinococcus cysts were eliminated.
