Abstract:
Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. It is an endemic disease in many parts of the world. Although humans are incidental hosts of the parasite, the disease sometimes results in fatal consequences. The liver and lungs are the most common sites of infection in humans. We report the case of a 45-year-old female who presented with complaints of right hypochondriac pain, fever, and cough, initially suspected as a case of liver abscess but later diagnosed as a giant calcified hydatid cyst of the liver. Imaging and immunoglobulin G for Echinococcus granulosus helped confirm our diagnosis. Based on her symptoms, the patient was treated symptomatically with analgesics, paracetamol, and an antitussive for pain, fever, and cough, respectively. In terms of definitive care, she was treated with oral albendazole and referred to her home district for necessary surgical intervention.
摘要:
包虫病是由寄生虫细粒棘球蚴引起的人畜共患疾病。它是世界许多地方的地方病。尽管人类是寄生虫的附带宿主,这种疾病有时会导致致命的后果。肝和肺是人类最常见的感染部位。我们报告了一名45岁的女性,她主诉右侧的软骨痛,发烧,咳嗽,最初怀疑是肝脓肿,但后来诊断为肝脏巨大钙化包虫囊肿。细粒棘球蚴的影像学和免疫球蛋白G有助于确认我们的诊断。根据她的症状,患者接受了镇痛药的对症治疗,扑热息痛,和止咳止咳,发烧,咳嗽,分别。就确定性护理而言,她接受了口服阿苯达唑治疗,并转诊到她的家乡进行必要的手术干预。
