초록
Pulmonary paragonimiasis is the infectious disease of lung, due to 'Paragonimus westermani'. The clinical manifestations are various, and the main symptoms are chronic cough and persistent hemoptysis. Radiological findings mainly include thin walled cyst, migrating patch pulmonary infiltration, transient linear shadow, and hydropneumothorax, etc. The differential diagnosis should include pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, other parasitic diseases, and rarely lung malignancy if the mass-like lesion is present. Recently, the incidence of paragonimiasis is very low. But the physicians should suspect paragonimus infection, if the patient has chronic respiratory symptom such as hemoptysis and lives in the endemic area such as Korea. A case of pulmonary paragonimiasis confirmed by histological basis of lung was presented with a review of the literature.
