Özet

We present rupture of lung hydatid cyst in a patient with multiple organ involvement during albendazole treatment. The patient was first provided mechanical ventilation than residue cavity and the other intact cyst was treated surgically. We concluded that albendazole should be used in postoperative period in patients with hydatid disease of the lung to prevent recurrent disease. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
