    HY Concept 154

    A traveler comes from Africa (could also be a West Alaskan Indian), and had told you he ate coyote and dog poop as a college dare! He is ASYMPTOMATIC but you see cysts in his lungs on X-ray. What's the bug and TX?

    hi

    Give him Albenza which is trade name for Albendazole which works by depleting ATP, and the bug if asked is Echinococcus. For this and the other tapeworm, Taenia, the guy could be scratching his rear end a lot so wash your hands!
