ABSTRACT

Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus, and represents a global public health problem. In children the pulmonary location is the most frequent. The hydatid cyst can be asymptomatic and present symptoms when breaking into the bronchial tree or pleura. We present a case of complicated pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 14-year-old girl from Morocco, where this disease is endemic. The initial clinical picture simulated a lung abscess. The management was surgical, associated with albendazole treatment, with a good clinical evolution.

El quiste hidatídico puede ser asintomático y presentar síntomas al romperse hacia el árbol bronquial o pleura. Presentamos un caso de quiste hidatídico pulmonar complicado en una niña de 14 años residente en Marruecos, donde esta enfermedad es endémica. El cuadro clínico inicial simuló un absceso pulmonar. El manejo fue quirúrgico, asociado a tratamiento con albendazol, con una buena evolución clínica.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La hidatidosis es una zoonosis causada por el parásito Echinococcus granulosus. Perú es una zona endémica para esta infección, presentamos el caso de una mujer de 33 años, procedente de la región de Ica; que durante la gestación se le diagnosticó hidatidosis hepática y pulmonar y posterior al término de la gestación fue referida con tubo de drenaje torácico, disnea y dolor torácico en hemitórax derecho, de curso progresivo e imagen tomográfica de tórax que mostró quiste pulmonar basal posterior derecho. Los exámenes serológicos fueron positivos, la paciente fue sometida a resección quirúrgica con resultado histopatológico de quiste hidatídico pulmonar complicado no viable y estructura micótica consistente con aspergiloma. La coexistencia de estas dos entidades es rara y pueden ser amenazas potenciales para los pacientes. El diagnóstico y tratamiento tempranos son vitales para prevenir posibles complicaciones como la hemoptisis masiva o incluso enfermedad invasiva.


ABSTRACT Hydatidosis is a zoonosis caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus and Peru is an endemic zone for this infection. We present the case of a 33-year old woman from the region of Ica who, during gestation, was diagnosed with liver and pulmonary hydatidosis. After gestation was terminated, she was referred with thoracic drainage tube, dyspnea, and thoracic pain in right hemithorax, with progressive course and tomographic image of thorax showing right posterior basal pulmonary cyst. The serological analysis was positive, the patient underwent surgical resection with histopathologic result as complex non-viable pulmonary hydatidic cyst and mycotic structure consistent with aspergilloma. The coexistence of these two diseases is rare and can mean potential threats for patients. The early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent possible complications such as massive hemoptysis or even invasive disease.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hydatidosis is a neglected parasitic disease that is endemic in Chile. We present the clinical experience of a single center in Santiago from 1996 to 2010. Methods: Cases were identified using hospital's database. Clinical and pathological features, treatment and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In total, 23 patients were identified requiring 30 surgical interventions. Median age was 40 years old (range 5 to 73), and 76.5% visited or resided in regions of known endemicity in Chile. Abdominal cysts were predominant (78.3%), and most patients were symptomatic (73.9%). Elimination of cyst material by cough was reported in 42.9% of patients with symptomatic thoracic cysts. Eosinophilia was present in 41.2% of patients, and 57.1% had positive serology for hydatidosis. Aill patients underwent surgical treatment, in 60.9% in combination with albendazole treatment. While the majority of liver cysts (88.9%) were treated by complete cyst resection, lung cysts (83.3%) were predominantly treated by cyst resection plus capitonnage. Pathological examination revealed fertile cysts in 24%. Postsurgical morbidity was frequent (37.9%), and 13.3% of the series required readmission for this cause. Near 25% of patients remained in hospital > 14 days, a feature associated with fever during admission (p < 0.05). No recurrence was reported in the fraction of patients that were followed-up for 2 years or more. Conclusions: Our analysis of 23 cases demonstrates that patients were mainly adults suffering from abdominal cysts. Most patients were successfully treated by surgery with or without antiparasitic drugs but complications leading to prolonged hospital stays and readmissions were not infrequent.


Introducción: La hidatidosis es una enfermedad endémica en Chile. Se presenta la experiencia clínica de un hospital en Santiago, desde 1996 al 2010. Métodos: Los casos fueron identificados usando las bases de datos institucionales y se analizaron las características clínicas y patológicas, el tratamiento y la evolución en forma retrospectiva. Resultados: Se identificaron 23 pacientes intervenidos en 30 oportunidades. La mediana de edad fue de 40 años (rango 5 a 73) y 76,5% visitó o residía en zonas endémicas en Chile. Los quistes abdominales fueron predominantes (78,3%) y la mayor parte de los pacientes eran sintomáticos (73,9%). Un 42,9% de aquellos con quistes sintomáticos torácicos reportó eliminación de vesículas con la tos. Un 41,2% presentó eosinofilia y 57,1% tuvo serología positiva para hidatidosis. Todos los pacientes fueron tratados quirúrgicamente, en 60,9% en combinación con albendazol. La mayoría de los quistes hepáticos fueron tratados con cirugía radical (88,9%) y los pulmonares predominantemente con quistostomía y capitonaje (83,3%). Un 24% de los quistes eran fértiles. La morbilidad post-quirúrgica fue frecuente (37,9%) y 13,3% de la serie requirió reingresos por esta causa. Cerca de 25% de los pacientes estuvo hospitalizado por más de 14 días, un fenómeno asociado con la presencia de fiebre por complicación séptica al ingreso (p < 0,05). No se registraron recurrencias en la fracción de pacientes seguidos por más de dos años. Conclusiones: La hidatidosis afecta principalmente a adultos en su cavidad abdominal. Aunque los pacientes fueron tratados exitosamente con cirugía, las complicaciones, estadías prolongadas y reingresos por esta causa no fueron infrecuentes.

ABSTRACT

Hydatidosis is a common infestation caused by Echinococcus spp. Solitary hydatid cyst of the lung is not uncommon but coexistence of two or more pulmonary cysts are less common. These cysts may drain into the bronchial tree or very rarely into the pleural cavity which causes a poor outcome. Certain people such as slaughters, tanners, stockbreeders, shepherds, butchers, veterinarians and all whose job makes them to work closely with animals are at higher risk of the infection and developing echinococcosis. Herein, we present a 14-year-old shepherd who developed severe chest pain and hydropneumothorax following a minor trauma to his chest. He had two pulmonary hydatid cysts, one of which drained to the left pleural cavity and caused the symptoms. Another cyst was complicated during his hospital course. The patient was treated surgically, received albendazole and discharged home uneventfully. A high index of suspicion is of utmost importance for the correct diagnosis and treatment of hydatid disease in hyperendemic areas and in those whose occupation might put them at a higher risk of contraction of hydatid disease

ABSTRACT

We report a case of 26 year old woman who had ruptured hydatid cyst of the right lung. The chest radiograph and CT features were suggestive of a ruptured hydatid cyst with detached and collapsed endocyst within the exocyst. Intraoperatively communication between cyst and bronchus could be demonstrated. Interesting CT appearance and demonstrable communication of cyst with bronchus is the reason for this case report.

ABSTRACT

La hidatidosis es una zoonosis cuya frecuencia en Chile varía según el área geográfica. El desierto de Atacama tiene características que hacen raro el desarrollo de esta patología, que a la vez, se presenta con características particulares en la infancia. Reportamos la evolución clínica de una escolar de Calama, de 6 años de edad, que presentó compromiso del estado general, fiebre, y anorexia de 5 días de evolución, a lo que se agregó tos persistente con episodios asficticos y vómica de material blanco grisáceo, hemoptoico y filante, sin mal olor, asociado a dolor punzante en hemitórax derecho y dificultad respiratoria progresiva. La radiografía de torax y TAC pulmonar muestran imagen compatible con quiste hidatídico basal derecho y la serología ELISA para hidatidosis resultó (+). Se trató con albendazol por 17 días y se realizó quistectomía con capitonaje, sin complicaciones posteriores. Comentamos la forma de presentación, los factores de riesgo y el tratamiento de la patología, basados en una revisión de la literatura y la experiencia nacional.
