“…Following the discovery, other cases were reported in Latin American countries (Campos & Freire-Filha, 1989; Queiroz-Telles & Salvador, 2019). The first description in Brazil occured 60 years later in the State of São Paulo (Campos et al, 1988). The appearance in the Brazilian Amazon, where the highest incidence has been detected, especially in the States of Acre, Pará, Roraima, Rondônia and Tocantins (Campos & Barbosa, 2016), was initially reported in 1978 (Campos et al, 1992).…”

Lagochilascariasis, described for the first time in 1909, is caused by a helminth nematode within the Lagochilascaris genus, and Ascarididae family, which mainly affects the underprivileged, especially among rural populations. Brazil presents more than 75% of the cases worldwide, mostly in the Amazon region, where the illness is considered emergent. The main clinical manifestation in humans is the appearance of subcutaneous purulent lesions normally found around the neck, mastoid and middle ear regions, the originating form is a painless granulomatous reaction that may have a chronic course and lead to death. Considering the paucity of reports on this helminthiasis, a bibliographic study was performed with the intent of consolidating information found systemized as etiology, epidemiology, pathogeny, clinical aspects, diagnostic, treatment, prophylaxis and control, as well as guiding health professionals in the resolution of human lagochilasacariasis cases. The present review reinforces the need for further studies on the subject, with a view to increasing the appropriate management of the disease and learning from it, to improve control, based on adequate knowledge of its natural cycle, as well as health education of the population.KEY WORDS: Emerging diseases; human lagochilasacariasis; infectious diseases.

A 15 year old male patient was diagnosed as being infected with the nematode Lagochilascaris minor, presenting as abscesses over the left mastoid region, and invading the temporal bone, mastoid sinuses and possibly the CNS. Surgical drainage and administration of cambendazole and levamisole led to improvement, followed by an early relapse and poor tolerance to the antihelminthic drugs. Repeated doses of ivermectin (an animal preparation) were used for the first time to treat this condition and resulted in complete remission of signs of infection, maintained for 15 months after the end of drug therapy, indicating cure of the disease.
