Hydatid cyst (HC) is a zoonotic disease that often affects regions where animal husbandry is common and preventive measures are not taken. This disease mostly affects the liver and the lungs. Involvement of other organs, such as the kidney, musculoskeletal system, and intracranial structures, is rare. In this case report we will be discussing a patient who was diagnosed with bacterial pulmonary empyema without proper response to treatment. In further management, a ruptured hydatid cyst was diagnosed along with a renal hydatid cyst.
