Clinico-radiologic Characteristics of Pulmonary Visceral Larva Migrans Caused by Ascaris suum.

Objective Visceral larva migrans (VLM) caused by Ascaris suum is a major health problem in pig farming regions. The clinical characteristics of pulmonary VLM caused by A. suum, however, are unclear.

Successful treatment with mepolizumab in a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis complicated with nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex hypersensitivity reaction that is associated with an allergic immunological response to species via Th2-related inflammation. The long-term use of a systemic corticosteroid is often needed for the treatment of ABPA. However, systemic corticosteroid treatment imposes a risk of the onset of a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.
