Resumo Introdução: A infecção por Echinococcus ou hidatidose constitui-se em uma zoonose causada pelo parasita Echinococcus granulosus. Apresenta distribuição mundial, sendo Portugal considerado endêmico. A doença hidática do rim é rara, ocorrendo em apenas 2% dos casos. Caso Clínico: Adolescente de 14 anos, do sexo masculino, com doença hidática do rim. O diagnóstico foi efetuado por exames de imagem e por teste sorológico específico. Foi instituída terapêutica com albendazol durante quatro ciclos de quatro semanas cada, tendo-se verificado diminuição significativa do tamanho do cisto e negatividade dos anticorpos específicos. Discussão: Embora a terapêutica recomendada seja a excisão cirúrgica, estudos demonstram que a terapêutica médica pode ser uma alternativa a considerar, permitindo a preservação do órgão.
Abstract Introduction: Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. It has a worldwide distribution, being endemic in Portugal. Hydatid disease of the urinary tract is rare, occurring in less than 2% of all cases. Case report: 14-year-old male with hydatid disease of the kidney. The diagnosis was established by imaging studies and specific serologic testing. Treatment consisted of four 4-week cycles of albendazol and resulted in a progressive reduction of the cyst as well as in a negative specific serology. Discussion: Even though the recommended treatment is surgical excision, studies have demonstrated that medical treatment may be an alternative allowing for organ preservation.
