Its nonspecific clinical presentation and radiological diversity often lead to misdiagnosis. Here, we report a case of pulmonary echinococcosis initially misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report a case of a 13-year-old girl from a region endemic for both echinococcosis and tuberculosis. She initially presented with recurrent cough, hemoptysis, night sweats, and a pulmonary cystic lesion and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. However, her condition progressively deteriorated despite antituberculosis therapy. Ultimately, surgical intervention and histopathological examination confirmed pulmonary echinococcosis, and the patient achieved complete recovery after therapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>For patients from regions endemic for both tuberculosis and echinococcosis who present with cough, hemoptysis, or pulmonary cystic or cavitary lesions, it is crucial to differentiate pulmonary echinococcosis from pulmonary tuberculosis. The final diagnosis should be supported by other microbiological-serological and\/or histopathological tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1562829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T05:16:49Z","timestamp":1744003009000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pulmonary echinococcosis mimicking tuberculosis in a child from a dual-endemic region: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yiyuan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1186\/s40249-016-0109-x","article-title":"The landscape epidemiology of echinococcoses","volume":"5","author":"Cadavid Restrepo","year":"2016","journal-title":"Infect Dis Poverty"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0007082","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0007082","article-title":"Psychological burden and resilience factors in patients with alveolar echinococcosis\u2014a cross-sectional study","volume":"13","author":"Nikendei","year":"2019","journal-title":"PLoS Negl Trop Dis"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1480579","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2024.1480579","article-title":"Risk factors associated with human echinococcosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"11","author":"Kakamad","year":"2024","journal-title":"Front Vet Sci"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1069","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.03.00108403","article-title":"Pulmonary echinococcosis","volume":"21","author":"Morar","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e55223","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.55223","article-title":"Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use as supportive therapy in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to rupture of a pulmonary hydatid cyst","volume":"16","author":"Yousef","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"126","DOI":"10.5152\/tpd.2017.4811","article-title":"Ruptured pulmonary cystic echinococcosis mimicking tuberculosis in childhood: a case report","volume":"41","author":"Unver Korgali","year":"2017","journal-title":"Turkiye Parazitol Derg"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1186\/s43162-023-00242-z","article-title":"Hematemesis or hemoptysis?
