RESUMO

About 100 cases of human infections with Mammomonogamus laryngeus (Syngamidae, Syngaminae) have been reported, with virtually all cases originating in the Caribbean Islands and Brazil. This report describes the fifth patient in north America infected with M. laryngeus and the first case documented to originate in Jamaica. The patient complained of a characteristic persistent nonproductive cough and a lump in her throat. M. laryngeus is a nematode in which the male and female are permanently joined in copula, producing a distinctive Y shape. Since there is scant clinical information about this parasite, this report includes a description of the adult worms and eggs, a summary of the epidemiology, and the clinical manifestations in humans. Illustrations are presented to facilitate furture identification of this parasite and to expedite treatment (AU)

RESUMO

A 26-year-old woman developed severe paroxysms of coughing after a 10-day vacation in the West Indies. Four and a half months later she expectorated a Y-shaped worm that was identified as the male and the female Syngamus laryngeus in copula; eggs were found in the sputum and tracheal washings. A review of the literature discloses 23 reported cases of syngamosis in man. All appear to be accidental infection by S. laryngeus. The life history of this worm is unknown. Human infection probably occurs via transfer of the adult forms of the parasite from contaminated vegetables to the pharynx. (AU)
