[Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis associated with strongyloidiasis].

We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who suffered from progressive respiratory distress syndrome. Strongyloides stercoralis was disclosed in tracheal aspirations. A high serum level of antibodies directed to Aspergillus fumigatus was also found. Diagnosis, prevalence, microbiology, clinical consequences and treatment of strongyloidiasis are discussed. We also revisit to the diagnose criteria of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and his differential diagnosis. The puzzling aspect of this case was the association of two different diseases and the concern about the prevalence of strongyloidiasis in our regions.
