Abstract

Abdominal angiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by Angiostrongylus costaricensis. Cases have been reported from Texas to southern Argentina but not in the eastern part of the Amazon. We present the case of a 34-year-old French man living in French Guiana who had travelled to the Caribbean.
