[Difficulties in the diagnosis of prolonged pulmonary eosinophilic infiltration in a child].
The paper deals with a 6-year-old child admitted to hospital for prolonged febrile syndrome, hemoptic sputum with radiological persistence of some pulmonary opacities which raised many hypotheses concerning the etiological diagnosis. A prolonged eosinophilic pulmonary infiltrate due to an infestation with Ascaris lumbricoides and Giardia was the matter in the study case. The specific anti-parasitic treatment has a decisive role in the clinical radiological improvement in case of a parasitic eosinophilic lung.
