“…A number of culinary dishes have been linked with paragonimiasis. These include the Chinese and Korean dish "kejeng," wherein live crustaceans are eaten with soybean sauce (80), and the Japanese dish "oboro-kiro," wherein crab juice is added to bean paste (miso) soup (80,158,203). Paragonimiasis in Mexico has been associated with cerviche that contains uncooked crustaceans (Hugo Vicente Ralde, personal communication).…”

“…In addition to these reviews, which cover the subject matter broadly, there are a number of reviews that focus on paragonimiasis in particular geographic regions (e.g., infections by P. heterotremus in Thailand). Representative reviews of paragonimiasis in specific geographic regions include reviews from the Philippines, (27,50), Korea (39,158), parts of China (36), Japan (126,182), Vietnam (48, 51), Central and South America (148,(186)(187)(188), Liberia (149), and Thailand (185,190).…”

“…In another study, Im et al similarly found that the most common clinical findings were cough (63%; 45/71), blood-tinged sputum (61%; 43/71), dyspnea (38%; 27/71), and chest pain (38%; 27/71) (66). Several authors have reviewed the common clinical manifestations of patients with paragonimiasis; the most common clinical findings and the ranges of frequencies of these findings from these studies are the are summarized in Table 2 (32,66,77,80,158,167). An unusual (and disturbing) finding that may occur on rare occasions is the expectoration of an intact adult worm (190).…”

“…The inappropriate use of expensive therapeutics places an unnecessary economic burden on communities that often are already resource limited. The presence of bilateral pulmonary disease, which occurs in many patients with paragonimiasis, is a clue that the disease process is not likely tuberculosis, which far less commonly affects both lungs (158). In addition, patients with paragonimiasis are often otherwise in apparently good health, which is in contrast with patients with tuberculosis (97,112).…”

SUMMARY Paragonimus species are highly evolved parasites with a complex life cycle that involves at least three different hosts, i.e., snails, crustaceans, and mammals. The adult forms of Paragonimus species reside and mate in the lungs of a variety of permissive mammalian hosts, including humans. Although human paragonimiasis is uncommonly encountered in North America, both autochthonous and imported disease may be encountered. Paragonimus kellicotti, the species endemic to North America, is a well-known pathogen in wild and domestic animals. Five patients with North American paragonimiasis have been reported in the recent medical literature. The biologic, clinical, radiologic, and laboratory features of paragonimiasis are reviewed, with emphasis on North American paragonimiasis whenever possible.

Effective paragonimiasis eradication programme in Nigeria eradicated the once endemic disease and no case was reported from 1980 to 2007. e �rst reported reemergence case was in 2007 and �ve more cases till January 2011 when this study was undertaken. is study is to determine the pre-disposing factors for the reemergence. e factors will help plan a sustainable long lasting and hopefully everlasting eradication programme. 2760 households from the identi�ed twelve villages with the endemic disease were systematically selected. Pretested questionnaires were interviewer administered to the head of each of the selected household. e data collected were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. e pre-disposing factors that precipitated the reemergence of the disease included low level of awareness of the disease by the entire populace including the health workers. is included the causative agent, the mode of transmission, and control; conservative cultural habits of preparing crab meal; eating improperly cooked crab and also insanitary disposal of faeces and sputum. A holistic eradication programme should be planned to have sustained activities that will usher in everlasting disease-free area. e programme should involve all people, policy makers, health workers, and the entire populace, taking care of peculiarities of the peoples habits.
