Digestive disorders were reported by 15 patients, and pulmonary symptoms were present in 4. Six also had various neurological symptoms. Peripheric eosinophilia was above 5% in all cases and above 10% in 14. A single course of treatment with thiabendazoled 17 patients, while the last was cured after a second course.
