Objective Paragonimiasis, or lung fluke infection, is a food-borne parasitic disease caused by infection with trematodes belonging to the genus Paragonimus. Although paragonimiasis was once considered successfully controlled in the 1970s, new cases began to emerge in the late 1980s. To apprehend the current-day situation of the re-emergent cases of paragonimiasis in Japan, we conducted a retrospective review of 443 patients who were referred to our laboratory and diagnosed as having paragonimiasis during 2001-2012. Methods Patients were diagnosed as having paragonimiasis based primarily on immunodiagnostic methods in addition to clinical, laboratory, and radiographic findings. Patient data were extracted from consultation sheets from attending physicians and were analyzed. Results Majority of the patients were residents of Kyushu Island. However, a substantial number of cases were also from other parts of Japan. Immigrants (mostly from China, Thailand, and Korea) accounted for a quarter of the cases. Native Japanese contracted paragonimiasis by consuming wild boar meat or freshwater crabs, whereas immigrants contracted the infection almost exclusively by consumption of freshwater crabs. Eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE levels were found in around 80% of the patients. Parasite egg detection was documented only in 11.7% of the cases, showing the reliance on serological tests for diagnosing paragonimiasis in current clinical practice. Conclusion Paragonimiasis remains a public health issue in Japan, and the situation should be closely monitored.

“…In Japan, an outbreak of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O111 infection occurred in 2011. A total of 181 people suffered from diarrhea, and surprisingly, encephalopathy developed in 21 (62%) of the HUS patients [3]. Central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction is an important predictive factor for HUS and mortality.…”

We compared the good and poor outcome groups using the Welch test with the following variables: age of patient; the interval from ingestion of contaminated food to enteritis, from enteritis to HUS, and from HUS to encephalopathy; as well as laboratory data (the highest or lowest values during acute HUS and encephalopathy), including white blood cell, hemoglobin, platelet, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and C-reactive protein data.…”
