The effect of albendazole was investigated in 20 patients with single or multiorgan hydatid cyst disease. Albendazole was used at a dose of 10 mg/kg daily in cycles of 28 d for four cycles with 15 d between cycles. Follow-up ranged from 12-18 months. Response varied according to the organ involved, the most successful results being with liver and peritoneal cysts. A positive response was seen in 47% of 34 cyst sites and a partial response was seen in a further 38% of sites. Overall response was classed as completely successful in 30% of patients, and partially successful in 60% at the end of follow-up. Adverse events were rare, although occasional abnormalities of liver function were seen.
