Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by cestodes of the genus Echinococcus, which often affects the liver and lungs. Pulmonary hydatid cysts are often transmitted in childhood and remain asymptomatic for a long time. As a result, the diagnosis is often incidental in noncomplicated cases. In some cases hydatid cysts may rupture and in this occurrence it is then called a complicated cyst. When a complicated pulmonary hydatid cyst occurs, various symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, and hemoptysis may be observed. For diagnosis radiologic methods and serologic tests may be used. The most commonly used radiological method for pulmonary hydatid cysts is chest radiography. Echinococcosis can be treated pharmacologically by drugs; however, the gold standard is surgical treatment. Pharmacological treatment includes benzimidazole group drugs such as albendazole and in surgical treatment, various techniques such as enucleation, pericystectomy, capitonated cystotomy are applied.

Pulmoner Hidatik Kist: Patofizyoloji, Etiyopatogenez, Tanı ve Tedavi

Öz

Echinococcosis, genellikle karaciğer ve akciğerleri etkileyen Echinococcus cinsinin cestodlarının neden olduğu parazitik bir hastalıktır. Pulmoner hidatik kistler sıklıkla çocukluk çağında bulaşır ve uzun süre asemptomatik kalır. Sonuç olarak, komplike olmayan vakalarda tanı genellikle tesadüfen konur. Bazı durumlarda kist hidatik patlayabilir ve bu durumda komplike kist olarak adlandırılır. Komplike bir pulmoner kist hidatik oluştuğunda göğüs ağrısı, nefes darlığı, öksürük ve hemoptizi gibi çeşitli semptomlar görülebilir. Tanı için radyolojik yöntemler ve serolojik testler kullanılabilir. Akciğer kist hidatiği için en sık kullanılan radyolojik yöntem akciğer grafisidir. Ekinokokkoz ilaçlarla farmakolojik olarak tedavi edilebilir; ancak altın standart cerrahi tedavidir. Farmakolojik tedavi albendazol gibi benzimidazol grubu ilaçları içerir ve cerrahi tedavide enükleasyon, perisistektomi, kapitonlu sistotomi gibi çeşitli teknikler uygulanır.
