The study was performed at Dr. L. Calvo Mackenna Hospital, between 1997 and 2000, in 15 patients. Thirteen patients received post surgery treatment because of daughter cyst finding and 2 received chemotherapy only. Albendazole was given orally (dose: 5 mg/kg bid for a mean time of 25 days) in 1 to 5 courses. Treatment evaluation was based on changes in cyst morphology, sonography and computed tomography, hematological and serological analysis. Seven patients had full response; the other had clinical and serological improvement. According with previously published experience, albendazole was efficient as a paliative pharmacological treatment instead of surgical procedure, in case of non-practicable hydatid cyst surgery. Moreover, albendazole is useful in case of multiple daughter cysts, well tolerated and reduced side effects in the follow-up.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Chilena de InfectologíaRevista chilena de infectología v.20 n.4 20032003-01-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-10182003000400002es10.4067/S0716-10182003000400002
