HYDATID DESEASE
3.5 TREATMENT
- Thio bendazole can be used for treatment (50mg/kg/day),
albendazole better absorbed so a lower dose is effective 4 tabs
of 200 mg. daily for 28 days.
- Surgical excision of cyst wall (laminated and germinal) layers is
the standard treatment, the cyst is treated at the time of
operation with hypertonic fluid to kill all scolices.(Fig.8.7)
- Medical therapy with mebendazole is only considered in those
where surgical treatment is contraindicated.
