“…occur in Cameroon (Voelker and Sachs, 1977;Cabaret et al, 1999). However, P. africanus is the only species confirmed from humans in Cameroon so far and our molecular analyses are in agreement with that.…”

“…According to Cabaret et al,4 the fresh eggs of the former species were high-sized (a mean of 91 × 49 µm) while those of P. uterobilateralis were of smaller dimensions (69 × 42 µm). As most authors listed in this review have identified Paragonimus species using eggs fixed in variable concentrations of formalin, one may wonder if the concentration of this fixative did not have an effect on egg morphology.…”

“…Two species of Paragonimus are described on this continent 3 and other two species were suspected. 4 In spite of some reports on this parasitosis in Africa, three points currently pose a problem. The first concerns the total number of patients affected by this disease, as it cannot be specified for the following three reasons: i) tuberculosis offends paragonimiasis in reason of their flagrant clinicoradiologic similarities, thus often causing the finding of this parasitosis after a long series of investigations; ii) paragonimiasis is not listed in the official registers of illnesses kept by the different African Ministers of Public Health; and iii) owing to the lack of awareness of local health professionals to paragonimiasis, this disease is little evoked in face of a chronic cough simulating pulmonary tuberculosis so that probably several cases of paragonimiasis are long undetected.…”

“…The eggs seen in the lesion of our patient measured 63 Â 40 microns and fall well within mean size ranges expected for both species. 8,9 Consequently, the differentiation between these two species is difficult based on morphological characteristics of the eggs alone.…”
