Area of Science:

  • Medical Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Echinococciasis is a parasitic infection with potential lung involvement.
  • Symptoms of lung echinococciasis are often non-specific, complicating diagnosis.
  • A cohort of 31 patients with echinococciasis was evaluated for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the medical history, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of echinococciasis.
  • To assess treatment outcomes for patients with echinococciasis, particularly those with lung involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 31 echinococciasis patients' medical records.
  • Surgical intervention in 19 patients.
  • Intermittent mebendazole therapy in 10 patients.

Main Results:

  • Six patients presented with lung echinococciasis, exhibiting non-specific symptoms like chest pain and cough.
  • Surgical treatment was performed on 19 patients.
  • Mebendazole treatment led to stabilization of the condition in 10 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical intervention is a key treatment for echinococciasis.
  • Mebendazole demonstrates efficacy in stabilizing echinococciasis patients.
  • Benzimidazolene derivatives should be considered for inoperable cases of echinococciasis.
