          Abstract

          RESUMEN La equinococosis es una infección zoonótica causada por el cestodo del género Echinococcus, endémica en muchas regiones del Perú. Los quistes hidatídicos habitualmente se ubican en el hígado y pulmón, siendo infrecuente tanto su localización en otros órganos como la hidatidosis múltiple. La mayoría de ellos son asintomáticos y de hallazgo incidental, aunque también pueden ocurrir complicaciones, como su ruptura espontánea o traumática que tiene una mínima incidencia (3-17%), siendo insólito que se dé hacia el tórax. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con ruptura de quistes hidatídicos hepáticos hacia la cavidad pleural, por traumatismo tóraco-abdominal, que al constituir una presentación excepcional de la patología originó dificultades en su reconocimiento inicial teniéndose como diagnóstico diferencial un hemotórax masivo. Este finalmente fue superado por la revisión de imágenes tomográficas con las que se concluyó una hidatidosis hepática complicada.

          SUMMARY Cystic hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the cestode Echinococcus, which is endemic in many regions of Peru. Hydatid cysts are usually located in the liver and lungs, locations elsewhere are rare as well as multiple hydatidosis. Most of the hydatid cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. Rare complications may arise such as spontaneous or traumatic rupture (3-17%), it is very infrequent that the hydatid cyst rupture towards the chest wall. We present a case of a patient who suffered the rupture of hepatic cysts into the pleural cavity after an abdominal-chest trauma, the rarity of this event made the identification of the problem more difficult to be confused with massive hemothorax. Careful review of the CT-Scan images allowed to reach the correct diagnsosis.

          Prevention and control of cystic echinococcosis.

          Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) continues to be a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. Elimination is difficult to obtain and it is estimated that, using current control options, achieving such a goal will take around 20 years of sustained efforts. Since the introduction of current (and past) hydatid control campaigns, there have been clear technological improvements made in the diagnosis and treatment of human and animal cystic echinococcosis, the diagnosis of canine echinococcosis, and the genetic characterisation of strains and vaccination against Echinococcus granulosus in animals. Incorporation of these new measures could increase the efficiency of hydatid control programmes, potentially reducing the time required to achieve effective prevention of disease transmission to as little as 5-10 years.

            Albendazole as an adjuvant to the standard surgical management of hydatid cyst liver.

            The treatment options for hydatid cyst liver include non-operative and operative methods. Operative methods include conservative and radical procedures. Non-operative methods include chemotherapy and percutaneous treatment of liver hydatidosis. The study was conducted at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, Srinagar, Kashmir, India, over a period of two years from March 2001 to February 2003 with further follow-up of 5-6 years. The study included 64 cases in the age group of 15 years to 64 years, comprising 36 males and 28 females. The aim of the study was to know the effect of preoperative and postoperative albendazole therapy on the viability of protoscolices and recurrence rate of hydatid disease of liver. Patients were divided into four group of 16 each. In group A, patients were directly subjected to surgery. In group B, patients were given albendazole for 8 weeks followed by surgery. In group C, patients were given albendazole for 8 weeks preoperatively followed by further postoperative course for 8 weeks. In group D, patients were first taken for surgery followed by postoperative course of albendazole for 8 weeks. Out of those patients who received preoperative albendazole only 9.37% had viable cysts at the time of surgery as compared to 96.87% of patients who did not receive any preoperative albendazole. In those patients who did not receive any albendazole therapy, recurrence rate was 18.75% whereas recurrence was 4.16% in patients who received albendazole therapy. We conclude that albendazole is safe and effective adjuvant therapy in the treatment of hydatid liver disease.

              Thoracic rupture of hepatic hydatidosis (123 cases).

              Hydatid disease is frequently endemic in countries with poor environmental sanitation and in geographic areas where interaction between humans and animals is common. Pulmonary complications result from the proximity of hydatid cysts in the liver and the diaphragm. The medical records of 123 patients, with established hydatid disease manifesting abnormal chest roentgenograms, were retrospectively analyzed for the period January 1990 to December 1999. Chest roentgenogram and abdominal ultrasound provided a correct preoperative diagnosis in 108 patients (87.8%). Expectoration of bile, demonstration of fistula by ultrasound, expectoration of cyst contents, and additional ultrasound or imaging findings were the criteria used to establish the preoperative diagnosis. The remaining 15 cases were confirmed at operation. Men outnumbered women nearly 3:1. Mean age was 36.2 years. Pulmonary resection was performed in 67 cases. Sixty-eight patients presented with a bronchobiliary fistula (55.3%). Morbidity rate was 14.6% and mortality rate was 8.9%. Thoracotomy offers adequate simultaneous access to both the chest and hepatic lesions with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic sphincterotomy undertaken preoperatively is useful in reducing biliary complications.
