Résumé
We described the case of a Guinea-Conakry patient presented with a pulmonary Schistosoma mansoni infection. Hypereosinophilia, positive serology and multiple lung nodules led us to suspect the diagnosis. However, parasitic examination of stool and urine were negative. The diagnosis was obtained thanks to specific serum PCR.
