چکیده
|
We report a case of a female patient with alveolar echinococcosis (ae) who presented with progressive pulmonary and hepatic lesions and had a fatal outcome. ae affecting the liver,the lungs and the brain had been diagnosed 20 years ago and treated successfully with albendazole and stereotactic gamma knife therapy. due to severe hair loss albendazole was stopped 14 years before presentation. lesions had remained stable in imaging studies for at least 11 years,but then had started to progress. lifelong anthelmintic maintenance therapy and regular follow-up may therefore be crucial in order to prevent such a dramatic clinical course. © 2013 meilinger et al.; licensee biomed central ltd.
