Introduction. Cystic echinococcosis is a serious problem in various regions of the world. The prevalence of the disease ranges from 2 to 6 percent and higher. In Kazakhstan, echinococcosis occurs in the regions of the republic with developed livestock farming. The localization of the pathological process in echinococcosis can be different, which complicates the diagnosis and, as a consequence, the treatment of the disease. Aim. To analyze a clinical case of echinococcosis with a rare localization of the pathological process in the spine. Results of the study. The article presents a clinical case of echinococcosis with spinal lesions, which is an example of a rare lesion of the spine complicated by a paravertebral ductal abscess with the formation of a fistula in which chitinous membranes of echinococcus were found. Echinococcal lesions have no specific clinical and laboratory signs, which led to erroneous diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis with subsequent prescription of anti-tuberculosis drugs and surgical intervention, as a result of which echinococcus was detected during histological examination. Conclusions. Doctors should be alert to echinococcosis, given the diverse localization of the parasite and the polymorphism of clinical manifestations. Successful treatment of the disease requires multidisciplinary work of doctors, reliable methods of laboratory and instrumental diagnostics, high-tech methods of surgical treatment.
