[A new case of human hypodermyiasis with pleuro-pericardial manifestations].
We report the case of 5 year-old boy, presenting with acute pericarditis, wandering abdominal tumefaction and high eosinophil blood count. Clinical history and serologic tests arrived at the diagnosis of human hypodermyiasis. Pericardiac manifestations are so scarce in this kind of parasitosis, that we found of interest to relate a new case.
