ABSTRACT
We report an unusual case of pulmonary schistosomiasis in a traveler to Mali that was diagnosed 16 months after primary infection, one month after she finished chemotherapy for a malignant tumor. Serologic analysis showed marked eosinophilia. Our case emphasizes the need to detect parasitic infections in cancer patients with unexplained eosinophilia, particularly in immigrants and travelers to tropical countries.
