ABSTRACT
Imported parasitoses are an uncommon condition in our setting, although recently, the increase of migratory flow has been leading to an increase in the detected cases of these diseases. This fundamentally occurs in immigrants from tropical zones where these conditions are generally endemic. However, imported parasitoses are being increasingly diagnosed in Western persons who have lived in the tropics for different reasons. When examining a subject with cardiovascular syndromes with a possible parasitic origin, it could be useful to classify the possible geographic zone of origin in order to perform disease screening. Then, if the problem is mainly respiratory, it would be well to first rule out the existence of tuberculosis in the case of long stays and to individual the diagnosis according to the geographic area, season of the year, type of exposure and symptoms presented, in the case of shorter stays.

Antisynthetase syndrome is a rare disorder, included among the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, characterized by the presence of antisynthetase antibodies. We present a case of a patient with a suggestive clinical stage of interstitial lung disease, skin and articular disease, but without muscle involvement, with the presence of anti Jol antibodies.

El síndrome antisintetasa (SAS) es un trastorno infrecuente, incluido entre las miopatías inflamatorias idiopáticas, que se caracteriza por la presencia de anticuerpos antisintetasa (ACAS). Presentamos el caso de un paciente con cuadro clínico consistente en afectación intersticial pulmonar,alteraciones cutáneas y articulares, pero sin afectación muscular, junto con la presencia de anticuerpos anti-Jol
