Abstract:
This report describes a male in his late 20s who presented with a 2-month history of recurrent haemoptysis and chest pain. A chronic infection, such as tuberculosis, was suspected. He had undergone surgical resection of an intrapericardial hydatid cyst in the past. His blood investigations showed peripheral eosinophilia, and his chest X-ray showed a cystic oval lesion in the left upper zone. A CT pulmonary angiogram revealed filling defects in the bilateral segmental and subsegmental arteries with a cystic lesion in the left upper lobe. Further workup, including bronchoalveolar lavage culture and MRI of the thorax, confirmed the diagnosis of a hydatid cyst of pulmonary echinococcosis. This case illustrates the presentation of multisystemic echinococcosis in a young male with no other risk factors, initially treated with surgical resection and antihelminthic therapy. The disease later recurred, which required prolonged medications, which brought the patient into remission.
摘要:
该报告描述了一名20多岁的男性,他有2个月的反复咯血和胸痛病史。慢性感染,如肺结核,被怀疑。过去,他曾接受过心包内包虫囊肿的手术切除。他的血液检查显示周围嗜酸性粒细胞增多,他的胸部X光检查显示左上区有囊性卵圆病变。CT肺血管造影显示,双侧节段和亚节动脉充盈缺损,左上叶囊性病变。进一步的工作,包括支气管肺泡灌洗培养和胸部MRI,确诊为包虫囊肿的肺包虫病。此病例说明了在没有其他危险因素的年轻男性中出现多系统包虫病。最初接受手术切除和抗蠕虫治疗。这种疾病后来复发,这需要长时间的药物治疗,使病人得到缓解.
