ABSTRACT
The lung ›ukes of the genus Paragonimus cause infection primarily in the lungs and pleural cavity. This disease entity is called pulmonary paragonimiasis, which is dif‘cult to differentiate from other respiratory diseases, especially pulmonary tuberculosis, due to its similar clinical and radiological features [1]. Except in highly endemic areas, paragonimiasis is never considered a public health problem, and misdiagnosis and mismanagement of pulmonary paragonimiasis are common. In addition, extrapulmonary paragonimiasis has also been reported as an important clinical manifestation [2].
