Abstract:Pleuropulmonary infections are not uncommon in tropical and subtropical countries.

In few low and middle income nations, pulmonary parasitic infections still remain a problem, although not rampant. With increase in immunocompromised patients in these regions, there has been an upsurge in parasites isolated and reported in the recent past.
