Hepatic hydatid cysts with superinfection in a non-endemic area in Taiwan.
Hepatic hydatid cysts are extremely rare in Taiwan. We report a case of complicated, multivesicular, hydatid cysts in the liver and a secondary infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The cysts were detected in an early stage by ultrasonography and computed tomography and treated successfully with radical resection.
