Larval Echinococcus granulosus infection (hydatid cyst) was reported in a 10 years-old Ukranian girl. The clinical manifestations were slight since she only complained of frequent abdominal pain. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound and immunoenzymatic detection of antibodies to Echinococcus (ELISA). Antibody titers were 1/800. She was repeatedly treated with albendazol, and she managed to recover while the size of her cyst was reduced.
