Abstract

Abstract The radiological findings in 100 cases of proved pulmonary paragonimiasis as seen in Nigeria are reviewed. In order of frequency the common shadows are either well defined patches of cavitation, ill-defined “cotton wool” lesions, “streaky” shadows or “bubble” cavities. The midzones are most commonly affected but any part of the lung may be marked. The shadows are generally of low density and may be difficult to distinguish from the early lesions of pulmonary tuberculosis.
