    Revue De Pneumologie Clinique

    Summary

    Severe asthma in a 46-year-old man was linked to anguillulosis, a parasitic infection. Treatment of the infection resolved the asthma symptoms, suggesting a direct causal relationship.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Parasitology
    • Pulmonology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition.
    • Eosinophilia and elevated IgE levels can indicate allergic or parasitic conditions.
    • Larva currens is a specific type of dermatitis associated with parasitic infections.

    Observation:

    • A 46-year-old man with no prior allergy history developed severe, recent-onset asthma.
    • The patient exhibited moderate eosinophilia, elevated total IgE, and larva currens dermatitis.
    • Diagnostic tests confirmed the presence of anguillulosis.

    Findings:

    • The patient's asthma symptoms resolved completely after treatment for anguillulosis.
    • The absence of a positive DLAC test further supported the parasitic etiology.
    • This case suggests a strong association between anguillulosis and severe asthma.

    Implications:

    • Anguillulosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of severe asthma, particularly with eosinophilia and dermatitis.
    • Successful treatment of parasitic infections can lead to remission of asthma symptoms.
    • This highlights the importance of identifying and treating parasitic infections for respiratory health.
