Abstract |
A 28 year old Ethiopian male who presented with recurrent haemoptysis, fever, and multiple well defined masses on a chest x-ray and subsequently responded to treatment with albendazole is reported. Complete remission of the symptoms and improvement of chest x-ray findings was attained within 2 months of initiation of treatment. The unusual presentation of pulmonary hydatid cyst and the response to pharmacotherapy is briefly reviewed.
