  • Title: Giant pulmonary and hepatic hydatid cysts in a child.
    Author: Calma CL, Neghina AM, Vlaicu B, Neghina R.
    Journal: Trop Doct; 2012 Jan; 42(1):54-5. PubMed ID: 22056925.
    Abstract:
    This case report focuses on hydatidosis, one of the most important parasitic zoonoses in Romania. We describe an interesting paediatric case of an eight-year old boy from a rural region presenting with a both giant and life-threatening pulmonary cyst (that was successfully managed) and a hepatic cyst. Noteworthy are the negative consequences of this disorder on children's health and development as a result of prolonged hospitalizations, surgical interventions and chemotherapy.
