  • Title: Granulomatous peritonitis in hydatid disease.
    Author: Conway KP, Denholm RB, Harrison GA, O'Riordan B.
    Journal: J Infect; 2003 Jan; 46(1):65-6. PubMed ID: 12504613.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of persisting granulomatous inflammation within the peritoneal cavity due to previous leakage from a liver hydatid cyst, with the granulomata bearing hooklets originating from protosolices of Echinococcus granulosus. The patient was treated with a full three-month course of albendazole. We believe this represents a rare case of 'pseudotuberculous peritonitis'.
