Though parasitic lung diseases are frequently seen in tropical countries, these are being increasingly reported from many parts of the world due to globalisation and travel across the continents. In addition, the emergence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the frequent use of immunosuppressive drugs in many diseases and the increasing numbers of organ transplantations have resulted in a renewed interest in many tropical parasitic lung diseases. This review outlines the recent developments in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of common and rare parasitic lung diseases.
尽管寄生虫性肺部疾病在热带国家较为常见，但由于全球化和跨大陆旅行，世界各地对这些疾病的报道越来越多。此外，人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染/获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）的出现、许多疾病中免疫抑制药物的频繁使用以及器官移植数量的增加，使得人们对许多热带寄生虫性肺部疾病重新产生了兴趣。本综述概述了常见和罕见寄生虫性肺部疾病在发病机制、诊断和治疗方面的最新进展。
