“…While only two previously reported cases in the literature have managed ARDS due to parasitic infection with ECMO, both cases involved ARDS resulting from acute rupture of pulmonary hydatid cysts. In both instances, ECMO proved successful as a supportive therapy, facilitating the transition to definitive surgical intervention and subsequent recovery of the patients [8,9].…”

“…ECMO has demonstrated effectiveness as a bridge to recovery in conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) resulting from bacterial or viral infections like COVID-19 [5,6], as well as in providing support for lung transplant recipients [7]. While ECMO has been extensively utilized in various contexts, its application in treating ARDS associated with parasitic infections like echinococcosis remains limited, with only two documented cases in the literature thus far [8,9]. This presents an opportunity to explore the feasibility and efficacy of ECMO in such scenarios.…”

Pulmonary echinococcosis is a parasitic infection that accounts for 20% of the infected cases with echinococcosis. Patients may present after a cyst rupture associated with a variety of complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is known as supportive therapy for patients with respiratory and cardiac failure, including ARDS associated with multiple causes. Parasitic infection associated with ARDS due to cyst rupture managed with ECMO as bridging to definitive surgical intervention is documented in two previous case reports only. Here, we are presenting a 21-year-old female with a pulmonary hydatid cyst complicated by ARDS and managed with ECMO.

Tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus cause parasitic disease in humans through the ingestion of eggs in contaminated food and water. Rupture of slowly enlarging cysts in the liver, lungs, and other organs can be life-threatening and many deaths are recorded yearly worldwide. Surgery and removal of such cysts remain the most effective treatment. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) routinely placed in the ICU in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), may provide time and adequate oxygenation for the completion of surgery in echinococcosis cases. In this article, we present a rare case of pulmonary echinococcosis in a young patient requiring ECMO support prior to surgery.
