Abstract

A 68-year-old woman with bronchial asthma complained of fever, right thigh pain, sensory disturbance at the tips of the upper and lower limbs, and abdominal pain. She had severe eosinophilia and radiologic examination showed a mass-like shadow in the left lower lobe of the lung. Allergic granulomatous angiitis was diagnosed on the basis of findings from a muscle biopsy (gangrenous vasculitis with eosinophilia). This patient also had positive results of serological tests (Ouchterlony method) for various parasite antigens, despite the fact that no eggs of parasites were found in her feces. After steroid administration, the serological reactivity to parasite antigens had decreased. The positive reactions to parasite antigens was probably related to the cause of the vasculitis.
