ABSTRACT

In the pediatric population, the respiratory and gastrointestinal infections are among the most frequent causes of morbidity in our country. Pneumococcal infection has been identified, as the most frequent cause of pneumonia in this age, and geo-helminthiasis are infections with high incidence in the global population, chiefly in the developing countries. Both diseases have treatments that must be addressed considering the patient’s clinical state and the bacterial antibiotic resistances that have been reported in the environment where the treatment is provided. We present a case of a seventeen years old male in which the diagnosis of complicated pneumonia for Streptococcus pneumonia was made, and during his hospital stay, we obtained helminthes morphologically compatible with Ascaris lumbricoides from oral cavity and inside pulmonary parenchyma.
