Resumen

HUERTA-OBANDO, Anderson V; OLIVERA-BACA, Erick Y; SILVA-DIAZ, Jaime  y  SALAZAR-DIAZ, Abel. Cardiac hydatid cyst in a child: a case report. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.2, pp.338-343. ISSN 1726-4634.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2018.352.3258.

Echinococcosis is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which, in its cystic state, forms the so-called hydatid cyst. It presents important morbidity, with possible sequelae related to the location, and high costs due to surgical and prolonged pharmacological treatment. The liver and the lung are the most common anatomical locations, and much rarer are the kidney, spleen, brain, and heart, where the latter represents 0.5 to 2% of total cases. Peru is an endemic country of this anthropozoonosis and mainly records cases in the central highlands (95%). This paper presents the case of a 10-year-old girl, diagnosed with this disease, CE1 ultrasound classification, clinical group 1 (confirmed by pathological anatomy) with specific surgical and pharmacological treatment (albendazole) afterward. The patient recovered satisfactorily from the surgery and was discharged at 16 days, without complications.
