ABSTRACT
Nine patients with pulmonary cysts of echinococcus varying in size have been treated with Mebendazole. When the cysts were small or medium in size a complete disappearance or an important reduction was observed, whereas in four patients in which the cyst was big in size the treatment did not cause any decrease in size. The Authors point out the efficacy of the Mebendazole in the small or medium size cysts if the drug is given at high doses and for a long period. Nevertheless the use of this drug may be suitable also in the treatment of big size cysts together with surgical treatment to avoid possible secondary local or distant implant and in all cases of human inoperable echinococcal cyst.
