Disseminated Hydatid Disease in a Child Involving Multiple Organ Systems: A Case Report.
Curēus 2020 January 5
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by Echinococcus granulosus, which involves the liver and lungs primarily. The authors report a case of disseminated hydatid disease involving multiple organs simultaneously in a 7-year-old child from Kabul, Afghanistan. The patient under examination had been having a complaint of cough and low-grade fever for the last one year. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (USG) demonstrated cystic lesions in his liver, lungs, spleen, and suprarenal region. The literature review showed that it was very rare for hydatid disease to involve multiple organs simultaneously, even in endemic areas, and the management of disseminated disease was very challenging, especially in the pediatric population.
