Abstract
|
|
|
Paragonimiasis mainly occurs by ingestion of raw or undercooked freshwater crabs or crayfish. In our country,
the prevalence of paragonimiasis was high until late 1960s due to eating habits, but after the 1970s the prevalence
of the disease has markedly decreased and now the disease is rarely seen. As the clinical and radiological features
as well as the laboratory findings are similar to that of pulmonary tuberculosis, the differential diagnosis of
pulmonary paragonimiasis is very difficult. We experienced a case of a patient with pulmonary paragonimiasis
who was treated as having pulmonary tuberculosis.
