[First description of human bronchial syngamosis in the State of Espírito Santo].
We report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented progressive dry cough associated with chest pain over a four-month period. After ruling out the most probable etiologies, bronchofibroscopy was performed and showed a pair of Syngamus laringeus inside the left upper lobe bronchus. The patient became asymptomatic after the nematodes had been removed.
