Abstract
- Hydatid disease is Echinococcus granulosus infection in its larva form. It is endemic in many sheep- and cattle-raising countries throughout the world. In Korea seventeen cases have been reported but relapsed case is not. We report relapsed hydatid disease in pelvic cavity 10 years after primary surgery for Echinococcal cysts in the liver and pelvic cavity. The cysts were surgically removed and the patient was managed with postoperative adjuvant treatment with albendazole and followed with serologic test for anti-echinoccocus antibodies by ELISA.
