Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Pulmonary cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic infection transmitted by dogs and occurring in livestock-raising areas. It is included among the neglected tropical diseases, according to the World Health Organization. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of this disease. While cross-sectional imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are preferred, lung ultrasound may be another feasible technique.
UNASSIGNED: We report a case of pulmonary cystic echinococcosis in a 26-year-old woman who was examined by contrast-enhanced ultrasound, which showed marked annular enhancement around the hydatid cyst, mimicking a superinfected cyst.
UNASSIGNED: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination in pulmonary cystic echinococcosis should be studied in a larger population to determine the value of additional contrast administration. In the present case report, no superinfected echinococcal cyst was seen despite marked annular contrast enhancement.
摘要:
未经证实:肺囊性包虫病是由狗传播的寄生虫感染,发生在畜牧业地区。它包括在被忽视的热带病中,根据世界卫生组织。影像学在该疾病的诊断中起着关键作用。虽然横截面成像模式,如计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像是优选的,肺部超声可能是另一种可行的技术。
UNASSIGNED:我们报告一例26岁女性肺囊性包虫病,经超声造影检查,显示包虫囊肿周围有明显的环形增强,模仿过度感染的囊肿。
UNASSIGNED:肺囊性包虫病的超声造影检查应在更大的人群中进行研究,以确定额外使用造影剂的价值。在本案例报告中,尽管有明显的环形对比增强,但未发现过度感染的棘球囊囊肿。
