dc.description.abstract | A 25-year-old Spanish male travelled to Senegal in September 2009, where he swam near the Dindefelo fresh-water falls. Five weeks later, he presented with fever, myalgia, and dry cough. His complete blood count showed a hemoglobin level of 157 g/L, platelet count of 123.000 platelets/µL, and a leukocyte count of 8.670 cells/µL, with 9% eosinophils. Malaria smear, blood cultures, and serologies for common viral and bacterial infections were negative. Titers of an indirect hemagglutination test for Schistosoma mansoni were 1∶80. The patient was treated with a single dose of praziquantel (40 mg/kg) and prednisone (30 mg) for three days. After treatment, the dry cough increased and he developed moderate dyspnea, with increasing malaise and myalgia. A second blood sample revealed eosinophilia of 1.200 cells/µL. A chest X-ray showed patchy infiltrates in both lungs (Figure 1), and a CT scan showed multiple peripheral bilateral pseudonodular lesions with surrounding ground-glass-opacity halo. | - |
