抄録
<p>We report the case of a 62-year-old man who developed eosinophilic pneumonia due to visceral larva migrans (VLM) that was possibly caused by Ascaris suum. The patient, a resident of the middle Kyushu area who was found of eating raw porcine liver, complained of dry cough without dyspnea. The chest radiography showed a migration of infiltrative shadow. Transbronchial lung biopsy of the right middle lobe revealed massive infiltration of eosinophils. The multi-dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and microtiter plate ELISA showed positive results for A. suum; therefore, the patient was diagnosed with VLM caused by A. suum. The patient was administered albendazole (600 mg/day) for 28 days; he recovered successfully with no adverse effects except mild liver dysfunction. Several cases of VLM caused by A. suum have been reported in Japan, with a majority of the cases being reported in Kyushu. Careful history taking of the patient's area of residence and dietary habit is essential for the diagnosis of this parasitic disease with underestimated prevalence.<tt> </tt></p>
