Paragonimiasis results from infection with a trematode worm, P. Westermani or, less commonly, one of the many of the other Paragonimus species (for instance: Paragonimus africanus). It usually affects the lung with manifestation of chronic cough, hemoptysis and roentgenographic infiltrates, alterations that can be difficult to distinguish from the lesions of tuberculosis. The diagnosis is established by the finding of Paragonimus eggs in the sputum or stool. On the basis of a case report on pulmonary paragonimiasis characterised by some peculiarities in a Congolese the clinical and roentgenological as well as the pathological features of pulmonary paragonimiasis are shortly described. The importance of this parasitosis is emphasized because of increasing migration of people from endemic areas to European countries.
肺吸虫病是由吸虫纲蠕虫卫氏并殖吸虫感染引起的，较少见的情况是由其他多种肺吸虫物种（例如：非洲肺吸虫）之一感染所致。它通常影响肺部，表现为慢性咳嗽、咯血和影像学浸润，这些改变可能难以与肺结核的病变相区分。通过在痰液或粪便中发现肺吸虫卵来确诊。基于一份关于刚果一名具有某些特殊特征的肺吸虫病病例报告，简要描述了肺吸虫病的临床、放射学及病理学特征。由于从流行地区迁移至欧洲国家的人数不断增加，强调了这种寄生虫病的重要性。
