  • Title: Cardiac hydatid cyst and pulmonary hydatidosis in a child.
    Author: Yalçin E, Doğru D, Ozçelik U, Kiper N, Göçmen A, Akhan O.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2002 Dec; 21(12):1178-80. PubMed ID: 12508795.
    Abstract:
    Hydatidosis in the lungs is unusual, and a cardiac localization occurs rarely. We report a child with cardiac hydatid cyst that developed during albendazole treatment for preceding multiple pulmonary hydatid lesions. The cardiac lesion was treated by surgical excision, and the pulmonary cysts improved with a combination of praziquantel and albendazole therapy.
