Asemptomatik akciğer kist hidatikli bir olgu

Kist hidatik hastalığı Türkiye gibi endemik bölgelerde yaşayan toplumlar için önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Çocuklarda akciğer tutulumu ilk sırada yer almaktadır. Asemptomatik veya intakt kistlerin tanısı genellikle rutin akciğer grafisinde tesadüfen belirlenen bulgulara dayanılarak konulmaktadır. Yavaş gelişen kist hidatik genellikle asemptomatiktir. Öksürük ve göğüs ağrısı kist hidatik için spesifik bulgular değildir. Bu yazıda, kardeşinde primer akciğer tüberkülozu tanısı olan, aile taraması sırasında çekilen direk akciğer grafisinde tesadüfen saptanan kist hidatikli olguyu sunduk. Bu olgu nedeniyle tüberküloz ve kist hidatik gibi sıkça görülen enfeksiyon hastalıklarının aynı ailede ayrı bireylerde birlikte görülebileceğini vurgulamak istedik.

Cough and chest pain are not specific findings for hydatid disease.

With this case we want to mention that infections like tuberculosis and hydatid cyst seen in same family and in different members
