ABSTRACT
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by the Echinococcal species. Humans are intermediate hosts and become infected directly by contact with canines or indirectly by contact with food, water, and contaminated objects. This disease involves multiple organs, including liver, lung, heart, muscle, bone, kidney, and brain. Rupture of a hydatid cyst, which is the most common complication of this disease, can cause serious sequelae, including allergic reaction, secondary infection, biliary obstruction, and metastasis. The hydatid disease occurs principally in areas of cattle and sheep ranching. In Korea, this disease is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We report a case of hydatid disease with anaphylactic shock and suggest that hydatid cyst complications must be kept in mind when dealing with patients who have a history associated with an endemic region.
