About 100 cases of human infections with Mammomonogamus laryngeus (Syngamidae, Syngaminae) have been reported, with virtually all cases originating in the Caribbean Islands and Brazil. This report describes the fifth patient in North America infected with M. laryngeus and the first case documented to originate in Jamaica. The patient complained of a characteristic persistent nonproductive cough and a lump in her throat. M. laryngeus is a nematode in which the male and female are permanently joined in copula, producing a distinctive Y shape. Since there is scant clinical information about this parasite, this report includes a description of the adult worms and eggs, a summary of the epidemiology, and the clinical manifestations in humans. Illustrations are presented to facilitate future identification of this parasite and to expedite treatment.
据报道，约有100例人类感染喉兽比翼线虫（后圆科，兽比翼属）的病例，几乎所有病例都源自加勒比群岛和巴西。本报告描述了北美第五例感染喉兽比翼线虫的患者，也是首例记录源自牙买加的病例。患者主诉有特征性的持续性干咳和喉咙有肿块。喉兽比翼线虫是一种线虫，其雄虫和雌虫永久性交合在一起，呈独特的Y形。由于关于这种寄生虫的临床信息较少，本报告包括对成虫和虫卵的描述、流行病学总结以及人类临床表现。提供了图片以方便今后识别这种寄生虫并加快治疗。
