Left undiagnosed and untreated, acute schistosomiasis can develop into chronic schistosomiasis which can lead to debilitating morbidity such as pulmonary hypertension. This case highlights that Katayama syndrome can also been seen in regions where the parasite is not endemic, as it occurs in travelers returning from endemic regions or in immigrants.</p></div><div><h3>Case presentation</h3><p>We describe the case of a 26-year-old asthmatic male, who presented with systemic symptoms including fever, myalgia, night sweats as well as gastro-intestinal and pulmonary complaints since five days. At presentation, there was a raised blood eosinophil count and nodular lesions were seen on computed tomography. After considering diagnoses such as tuberculosis, vasculitis and hypereosinophilic syndrome, it was repeated history taking that revealed that the patient had suffered from swimmer’s itch during a stay in Guinea. A stool sample showed microscopic presence of Schistosoma mansoni eggs, confirming the diagnosis of Katayama syndrome. The patient was treated with tapered corticosteroids to suppress the hypersensitivity reaction and praziquantel was added to cure the parasitic infection. This led to a complete resolution of the patients' symptoms and radiological abnormalities. Negative stool samples confirmed the eradication of the schistosomes.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Swimmer’s itch and Katayama syndrome are manifestations of acute schistosomiasis. It is important to recognize the syndrome, because early diagnosis and adequate treatment can prevent chronic disease and significant morbidity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51565,"journal":{"name":"Respiratory Medicine Case Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213007124000558/pdfft?md5=652669e42dcd99df358e4bb246aa2037&pid=1-s2.0-S2213007124000558-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140842781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic hurdles, and both the surgical and medical management of this case. The discovery of biliothorax, evidenced by pleural fluid bilirubin levels that exceed serum bilirubin levels, underscores the importance of considering biliothorax in the differential diagnosis of recurrent pleural effusions, particularly in patients with a history of trauma. This case emphasizes the need for heightened awareness and a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment to effectively manage this complex condition and prevent recurrence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51565,"journal":{"name":"Respiratory Medicine Case Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213007124000881/pdfft?md5=360bfb07ca3bd5d990d0df0e8ad11ee5&pid=1-s2.0-S2213007124000881-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141294845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
