[Generalized and lethal pentastomiasis due to Armillifer grandis (Hett, 1915)]

Abstract:
The authors described a case of generalised and lethal Pentastomiasis by a five years old girl. The most heavy parasitised organs are the lungs and the brain. Considering the age of the child and the uncommon density of the parasites, the authors suggest that the symptoms may follow the casual ingestion of a gravid female worm.
