title: [3 cases of human syngamiasis in Guadeloupe].
abstract: The authors report the 3 first cases of human syngamosis due to Mammomonogamus sp. in La Guadeloupe (French West Indies). After a review of the papers published on the previous 79 world-wide cases, they point out that this parasitic disease is restricted to the West Indies/South America area, and discuss the problem of the contamination mode; they claim that chronic cough is a constant signal symptom which suggests syngamosis in subjects who are native from, or have travelled in the endemic area.
