title: [Drug and surgical therapy of hydatidosis].
abstract: Surgical treatment of hydatidosis carries the risk of dissemination and recidives. In this paper authors present their experience with combined medico-surgical treatment with Albendazole in 13 patients. Ultrasound, computerized tomography and serological tests were used for diagnosis and follow-up. Microscopic viability test was used for the operated upon patients. In seven patients who were operated after two courses of Albendazole the viability test was negative. Three patients who received two courses of Albendazole after surgery did not show any recidive two years later. Another three patients who received only Albendazole (five courses) showed reduction in size and sings of calcification.
