The authors report the 3 first cases of human syngamosis due to Mammomonogamus sp. in La Guadeloupe (French West Indies). After a review of the papers published on the previous 79 world-wide cases, they point out that this parasitic disease is restricted to the West Indies/South America area, and discuss the problem of the contamination mode; they claim that chronic cough is a constant signal symptom which suggests syngamosis in subjects who are native from, or have travelled in the endemic area.
作者报告了法属西印度群岛瓜德罗普岛首例由鼻烟鸟圆线虫引起的3例人体比翼线虫病。在回顾了此前全球范围内79例病例的相关文献后，他们指出这种寄生虫病局限于西印度群岛/南美洲地区，并讨论了感染方式问题；他们声称慢性咳嗽是一个持续的标志性症状，提示来自疫区或曾在疫区旅行的人可能感染比翼线虫病。
