Human parasitosis is still prevalent worldwide and causes significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The involvement of the lung is variable depending on the characteristics of the parasites and hosts. In malnourished and immunodeficient children, the consequences of lung parasitosis may result in significant morbidity and mortality.
