Abstract：
Pulmonary hydatid cysts (PHC) and their complications are still a health concern in endemic countries. Here we described a 17-year-old male presented with a large PHC with a spontaneous rupture. He developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation. He was treated with albendazole, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and corticosteroids. The patient\'s general condition did not allow any attempt for surgical resection of the cyst. He was discharged in stable condition after one month and referred to a thoracic surgeon for resection of the cyst. As far as we know ARDS after hydatid cyst rupture was rarely reported, and through this case report we aimed to raise awareness of this possible life-threatening complication.
摘要：
在流行国家，肺包虫囊肿（PHC）及其并发症仍然是健康问题。在这里，我们描述了一名17岁的男性，患有自发性破裂的大PHC。他患上了需要机械通气的急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）。他接受了阿苯达唑治疗,广谱抗生素,和皮质类固醇。患者的一般情况不允许任何手术切除囊肿的尝试。他在一个月后病情稳定出院，并转诊给胸外科医生切除囊肿。据我们所知，包虫囊肿破裂后的ARDS很少报道，通过本病例报告，我们旨在提高对这种可能危及生命的并发症的认识。
