  • Title: Hookworm with hypereosinophilia: atypical presentation of a typical disease.
    Author: Verboeket SO, van den Berk GE, Arends JE, van Dam AP, Peringa J, Jansen RR.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2013; 20(4):265-7. PubMed ID: 23809080.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 55-year-old man returning from the Philippines infected with a hookworm, the novel bacterium Laribacter hongkongensis, and a Blastocystis hominis and presenting with both gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms. The high eosinophilia caused by the hookworm infection resulted in both gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, resembling a hypereosinophilic syndrome.
